Syntax

CMISS(argument-1 <, argument-2,...>)

argument: specifies a constant, variable, or expression. Argument can be either a character value or a numeric value.

A character expression is counted as missing if it evaluates to a string that contains all blanks or has a length of zero.

A numeric expression is counted as missing if it evaluates to a numeric missing value: ., ._, .A, ... , .Z.

The CMISS function does not convert any argument. The NMISS function converts all arguments to numeric values.
