Complex Comparison Operators

This page will provide a description and examples for each Complex Comparison Operator that are made available in Report Builder

Overview

Now that you’ve learned some basic filter clause operators from this knowledge article: Basic Comparison Operators, you can add more complex filters by using the operators mentioned in this article.

The following operators are mostly used to compare two fields:

Field equal (=)

Compares the contents of one field if the same or equal to another field.

Example 1

“Country” Field Equals (=) “Billing Country” will return data which has the same country and billing country information

Sample Output

Field is not equal to (!=)

Will return data or information with a field not equal to the other field.

Example 1

“Country” Field Not Equals (=) “Billing Country” will return data which has a country not equal or the same as the billing country

Sample Output

Field is greater than (>)

Will return data or information with a field greater than the other field.

Example 1

“Withdrawal Date” Field Greater Than (>) “Dest Census Date will return data which has a withdrawal date greater than the Dest Census Date.

Sample Output

Field Less Than (<)

Will return data or information with a field less than the other field.

Example 1

“Amount Paid” Field Less Than (<) “Amount Due” will return data which has an amount paid less than the amount due.

Sample Output

Field Greater Than Equal To (>=)

Will return data or information with a field greater or equal to the other field. The difference between this and the Field Greater Than (>) operator is that this would include the field which is also equal to the other field.

Example 1

“Withdrawal Date” Field Greater Than Equal To (>=) “Dest Census Date will return data which has a withdrawal date greater than or equal to the Dest Census Date.

Sample Output

Field Less Than Equal To (<=)

Will return data or information with a field less than or equal to the other field. The difference between this and the Field Less Than (>) operator is that this would include the field which is also equal to the other field.

Example 1

“Amount Paid” Field Less Than Equal To (<=) “Amount Due” will return data which has an amount paid less than or equal to the amount due.

Sample Output

Custom

Allows you to put an SQL query inside the Value column

Example 1

“Amount Paid” custom query to check paid amount between $500 and $1000 (This will return students with Amount Paid in between 500 and 10000).
