DataDriven test but there are nodes that need to be removed

Hi Guys,

I have been experimenting with SoapUI for about a year now and pretty much convinced this is tool to go in web service testing (almost convinced work to buy the tool).

So I've hit a snag. I am using the pro version because I discovered its awesomeness with datadriven testing. So here's my roadblock. I am testing a whole slaw of data inputs. So here's an example of what I am going at:

Parameter1:Column1
Parameter2:Column2
Parameter3:Column3
<parameter1>cows</parameter1>
<parameter2>moo</parameter2>
<parameter3>barn</parameter3>
My data is coming from an excel spreadsheet.

Let's say row 1 has all 3 parameters.
Now row 2 has all but parameter 3.
And Row 3 has only parameter 1.

Is there a way to say "if parameter 1 is empty, remove node in the request" vice versa? This shows up in the request:

Row1
<parameter1>cows</parameter1>
<parameter2>moo</parameter2>
<parameter3>barn</parameter3>

Row2
<parameter1>cows</parameter1>
<parameter2>moo</parameter2>
<parameter3></parameter3>

Row 3
<parameter1>cows</parameter1>
<parameter2></parameter2>
<parameter3></parameter3>

What do I need to do to get it remove those nodes when empty? The "skip row if column is empty" checkbox is not an option for me.


Thank you for your time!
