I am building a recipe app using airtable as my database. When you open the app there is a list viewer that grabs all the rows from the first column and listed them, what I am trying to do is only show the rows that have data in them so I don’t have 100’s on lines in my list viewer.

if anyone knows how to do this it would be really appreciated.

Hey @dmour021zv9 👋

Welcome to the community.

This might be a silly question, but why do you have empty rows in your data?

Can you sort/filter on the Airtable side and then just fetch the filtered view that has the data you want?
