Is there any operator - to delete rows in which at least one of the value indicated as ?(question mark) or what is the option to delete the row( not attribute) which contain missing values

HI David,

unfortunately this is not as easy as it sounds. Here is a process that iterates over all of your attributes and removes examples with missing values.
