Custom Filter Not Working

Hi!

 

I am trying to use a custom filter in the Filter Tool to only include certain data in my workflow. My filter goes as follows: [Field 2]= "B" OR "M/" OR "M" OR "R" OR "S" OR "T" 

When I view my data coming out of the false output, nothing seems to be coming out and data that is not included in my filter is included in the true output. Is there something wrong with my syntax or another way to filter this data? 

 

Thanks!

Depending on what your data looks like in [Field2], then you could try

 

 [Field 2] IN ("B" ,"M/", "M", "R", "S", "T")

I had the similar issue with the Filter tool. I generally would try to do a workaround like suggested in this solution, or using an IF else statement, but im just a little confused about what im doing wrong with the OR formula expressions.
