Enhancement of 'IN' functionality (ie. in Filter tool), so using range instead of citing particular values for example: instead [ID] IN (1,2,3,52,53,54,100,101,102) something like that [ID] IN (1-3,52-54,100-102).
@Pawel_Paleczny this would be good to have as it would replicate the select records functionality where you can specify a range.
However I have couple of questions:
- Just having a look at the IN statement in SQL I am not sure if you can specify a range like how you have shown - https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_in.asp therefore how important is it to you that Alteryx syntax is inline with other common languages?
- Because there are no other qualifiers, how do you expect the value 52-54 to behave, is it to include 52 and 54, or only return 53 as the value between the range?
@atcodedog05 thanks! Your idea to use BETWEEN statement will be perfect here!
@cgoodman3 I believe that BETWEEN functionality will resolve all problems! You're right re IN statement in SQL however my idea was based on real case where I had to type all values from my list and creating range will reduce significantly time spend on it :)
