I am not sure that you can use conditional searches, just conditional field calculation using eval.

another way is to make sure that the field location exits, then count
| WHERE NOT ( Location=" " OR isnull(Location) ) | stat count by Location

You could also include it in the stats command directly:

stats count(eval(Location==" " OR isnull(Location))
