是there a way to use OR in a Dynamic View filter condition?

MikeChambers

In a View, I can create a custom filter that selects where the Project Lead is "Mike" but I want to also say "OR Debbie." Is that possible? It looks like I can only choose AND.

You are more than welcome!

Glad to hear that it worked for your present use-case.

Hi Mike,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to change the AND to OR, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, in your example you could use the first condition and add Debbie because you're using the "has any of".

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Thanks for your suggestions,Andrée. I've submitted an enhancement request with this title: "Enhanced logic in Dynamic View filters with OR logical operator".

Your guidance for using "has any of" is a good workaround for the example I gave. Thanks for that. I simplified my original question so it would make sense. However in reality, I need a filter that would show ALL of the assignments for a team member, like so:

Show rows where

Project Lead is Mike

OR

Tech Lead is Mike

OR

Consultant is Mike

I don't see the "has any of" option in my options. The "OR" logic within the same field or between multiple fields would be most helpful.

是there a reason I'm not seeing "has any of" as an option?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi@Mark Katz

What type of column is it?

Can you maybe share somescreenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too,(电子邮件保护))

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic day!

Dynamic view is so weak. Can't filter on OR. Can't filter on dates. I can't believe this is a paid upgrade. I can filter for "Contains" but am unable to enter multiple values. There is no "Contains any of" filter (anymore, apparently)

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

You can set the filter on the sheet/report instead.

For the right use case, Dynamic View is fantastic. Imho.;)

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

No, it doesn't help, since I want the filter to be optional, not always on. I had to create a calculated field for all of the value combinations, which is stupid to have to do as a workaround when building in "OR" logic would be ridiculously simple.

Ok. I agree, "OR" would be an excellent addition.

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea(If it hasn't been added already)when you have a moment.
