Filtering by two variables

Hello, I'm stuck and can't quite figure out where I'm going wrong. 


I have a data set that includes current and previous claims statuses and approval dates.

 

I need to isolate those claims which either: 

- have a date change (Approval date check is not 0)

OR

- have a claim status change (Change column blank)

 

Here is an example:

I'm currently using a filter with the following formula to isolate the line items I don't care about: 

(contains([Change],"no"))
OR
(Contains([Approval date check], '0'))

 

But it's not working as expected. Please help!

Hi @AMalkin,

 

I have created a workflow for you but I am not sure if I get what is your problem.

 

If this filter doesn't work for you can you give us a little bit more details why your solution isn't working as expected? 

 

Maybe you should use OR function instead of AND?

Hi @AMalkin 

 

You need to put an "!" before your second Contains function. 

Contains([Change],"no") ||
!Contains([Approval date check], '0')

 

This will give you the desired output.

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know!

 

Thanks!

Phil
