Custom Filter Using 'AND' Not Working

Wrichard

Hi There:

 

I'm trying to do a custom filter to pull back just US and MX country codes from my data. When I do the basic filter [Country] = "US", the output in the T point is accurate. However, when I try doing the following custom filter, I don't get any results in the T point. 

 

[Country] = "US"
AND
[Country] = "MX"

 

Any help or guidance is much appreciated. Am I using the AND function incorrectly here? Do I need ( ) around each filter?

 

Thanks!

@Wrichard You actually need to use an or statement:

[Country] = "US"
OR
[Country] = "MX"

You could also switch to an In function:

[Country] IN ("US","MX")

Hi @Wrichard ,

 

I think, you have to use "OR" to get the result you expect. [Country] = 'US' AND [Country] = 'MX' means, that the field [Country] has both 'US' and 'MX' at the same time  - this is impossible. If you use "OR", only one of the conditions has to be true, records with [Country] = 'US' and [Country] = 'MX' are selected.

 

Let me know if it works as you expect.

 

Best,
