Examples

The following example uses three fields loaded to different listboxes: one for First name, one for Last name, and one for Initials.

Example 1: no values selected in First name

GetExcludedCount (Initials)

Returns 0. There are no selections.

Example 2: John selected in First name

GetExcludedCount (Initials)

Returns 5. There are 5 excluded values in Initials with gray color. The JA value will be white as it is associated with the selection John in First name.

Example 3: John and Peter selected in First name

GetExcludedCount (Initials)

Returns 3. John is associated with 1 value and Peter is associated with 2 values, in Initials.

Example 4: John and Peter selected in First name, Franc selected in Last name

GetExcludedCount ([First name])

Returns 3. There are 3 excluded values in First name with gray color. GetExcludedCount() only counts excluded values. Alternative and selected excluded values are not included in the count.

Example 5: John and Peter selected in First name, Franc and Anderson selected in Last name

GetExcludedCount (Initials)

Returns 4. There are 4 excluded values in Initials with gray color. The other two values (JA and PF) will be white or light yellow as they are associated with the selections John and Peter in First name.

Example 6: John and Peter selected in First name, Franc and Anderson selected in Last name

GetExcludedCount ([Last name])

Returns 3. There are 3 excluded values in Last name: Brown, Carr, and Elliot. The value Devonshire is an alternative value so it is not included in the count.
