This function does not count null elements.
For example, if used on a null result of a query from the Query Database Smart Service,, the expression fails to evaluate and causes an error. To avoid an error, first check the result set for a null value using the isnull() function before attempting to count the result set using the length() function.
You can experiment with this function in the test box below.
Test Input
length({10, 20, 30}) returns 3
