Filter tool - multiple exclusions

qgpl

Hi

 

Sorry if this seems such a beginner question. I've tried a few ways to find out how I can use the filter button to exclude multiple items but I really can't get it to work. 

 

For e.g. I need to exclude account numbers 11111,22222,33333,44444. I tried:

 

[Account Number] != "11111","22222","33333","44444" also tried with single quotes

[Account Number] != ("11111","22222","33333","44444" )

!Contains([Account Number],""11111","22222","33333","44444")

 

Also a few others but nothing worked. Do I have to use the filter tool for each account number?

 

Thank you

Hi @qgpl 

 

One way of doing this,

 

Even we can use IN condition also.

Hi 

 

Try this instead in filter

 

[Account Number] NOT IN ("11111","22222","33333","44444")

if the [Account Number] is in Integer [Account Number] NOT IN (11111,22222,33333,44444)

 

Thanks!
