Filter tool

[razzy]

I need help in using the filter tool  to query a column with there inputs for example 

Custom Filter: Contains ([Name], "A", "B", "C") : where Name is the column name:

when i run it , it returns a parse error

[ponraj]

You can use filter tool with following expression 

[Name] = "A"
or
[Name] = "B"
or
[Name] = "C"

No that is not working sorry, i am still having the same error what i want to do is like using a wild card to pull up data from the column name,

Contains([NAME],"A" Or B")

Hey @razzy

Unfortunately if you want to use contains, you need to write them all out like this:

Contains([Name], "A") || Contains([Name], "B") || Contains([Name], "C")

If you have lots to do then Find & Replace might be the way to go.

Assuming A, B and C represent the full strings you are looking for, this is simpler:

[NAME] in ("A","B","C")
