ERROR: MethodError: no method matching length(::Base.SkipMissing{Vector{Union{Missing, Bool}}})

I want to calculate the length without missing in a,and only count the true and false ,then return 4.What should I do ? Thanks for helping me.

You can use collect

julia> length(collect(skipmissing([1,2,missing,4])))

Or (probably more efficient)

count(!ismissing, a)
