    You could use except each as follows:

    q)d:(2023.03.12 2023.03.13)!(`data1.log`data2.log;“data3.log) q)d 2023.03.12| data1.log data2.log 2023.03.13| data3.log q)d except’ ` 2023.03.12| `data1.log`data2.log 2023.03.13| ,`data3.log

    If you mean remove the null key, you can drop the null using the following syntax:

    q)show d:(4?(0Nd,3?.z.D))!1 2 3 4 2006.11.03| 1 2008.12.03| 2 | 3 | 4 q)enlist[0Nd] _ d 2006.11.03| 1 2008.12.03| 2

    2023.03.13|                      data.log202303131959

    sorry i missed in the above question. i want to remove the null value from 2023.03.13. the key 2023.03.13 has an null value in the dictionary stored as a symbol.

    > dict[2023.03.13]

    “ `data.log202303131959
