if function to detect bp_profile_field_data PLEASE HELP!!!

1. First off, this request for help is not Buddy DEV related. I am hoping that someone can help me with their expertise! Thank you in advance!

   I have several custom profile fields in my Buddypress installation. I have completely removed profile_loop and created a custom table that uses the bp_profile_field_data function to post specific field data. It works well.

   My problem is that if no data exists for a particular field, the table has a blank spot. I want to create an if function that will look for bp_profile_field_data (field=field_name’). If field_name exists, I want the if function to to echo the field_name ID as a title. If no field data exists I want there to be a no title.

2. hi
   You can use this as an alternative
   

   xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = null )

   And example of use will be
   

   $data=xprofile_get_field_data("field_name",$user_id);//where user_id is the user for which you want data, on profile page, It will be $bp->displayed_user->id;
   if(!empty($data))
   		{
   //code for table heading and showing data
   }

   Hope it gives you an idea.
   Please let me know if I understood the problem or interpreted it incorrectly?
   Thanks

3. Your code did not work, but It certainly opened the window! I was able to do some google searching on xprofile_get_field_data and came up with a few similar examples - nothing exact though. After messing around I came up with this:

   '<tr><?php if ( $fieldName = xprofile_get_field_data('Field Name') ) : ?><?php echo "
   <th>Field Name</th>
   <td>$fieldName</td>
   " ?></div><?php endif; ?></tr>'

   The code is pretty compact imo. I am surprised more people wouldn't need this.
