How to remove right spaces on a field selected to create symbology -> catagories -> unique

JoseSanchez — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 11:58:32 GMT

Hello everyone,

I added a layer in a map and created unique categories selecting a text field. The problem now is that this field sometimes has blank spaces on the right so the values are not selected.

Is there a way to truncate all empty characters from a text field in the symbology section?

Thanks

You will need to remove the spaces in the table.

the trim command should remove leading and trailing spaces from a field in a calculate field

trim($feature.<field>)

or with the python parser, there are lots of options ...

a = "your field " a.strip() 'your field' b = " your field " b.strip() 'your field' c = " your field " c.rstrip() ' your field' c.lstrip() 'your field '
