In the attached workflow I am trying to configure a list box interface tool to allow for all of the following scenarios:
- If I select the state of WI in the list box I then I want all lines from the Text Input that contains WI to flow through the true anchor of the filter
- If I select WI, CA, and VA in the list box then I want all lines from the Tax Input that contains WI, CA or VA to flow through the true anchor of the filter.
- If I select all states in the list box then I want all the lines of the text box to flow through the true anchor of the filter.
How can I configure the interface tool to allow for all of these options? Should I use a macro?

Hello @KrisManns
One way to tackle this would involve using the list box to update a separate text input. Then use a text-to-columns tool to parse the input out to one state per row. This can then be used as a lookup table using a combination of the find and replace plus a filter tool.
I have attached the workflow below.
Please let me know how you get on or if you have any questions.

What you will need to do is to create a list from your selection and then use it as a variable in the Filter Tool
The use of in or not in are reflecting to a list
[State] in ("WI","CA","VA")
So this is your list (items 1,item 2,item 3)
So what you need to do is creating a list from the incoming selection of the Box List and the you can use it as a variable in the formula
[State] in ([list])
