I am retriving field1 on x-axis and which returns null and values. I want to show only those which has some value than which return null. I see Exclude Pattern in Advance. Can it be excluded from there? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/4/4d4229b80dca8d93360e9a402ec53421d0dc7e46.png) ---

I don't think you can do that from the exclude patterns, but you could combine this visualization with an "exists" filter: [Where to add a missing filter in this Kibana search](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/where-to-add-a-missing-filter-in-this-kibana-search/24845/2) [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/\_dealing\_with\_null\_values.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_dealing_with_null_values.html) ---
