8.4 Creating Advanced Conditions

The advanced condition option allows you to build complex conditions for filtering your worksheet data. To create an advanced condition:

1. On the Edit Condition dialog box, click the Advanced button.

The dialog box expands to show buttons to add and delete lines to the condition, and to include the Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT. Figure 8–10 New Condition Dialog Box The Item drop-down list shows the items currently available to the worksheet. Other options from the list are: Create Calculation —click to open the New Calculation dialog box. When you finish creating the Calculation, it appears in the Item section of the condition. For example, if you create a Calculation that computes a Royalty Fee, that Calculation is listed in the Item portion of the condition, and you can then filter the worksheet’s data by the Calculation results. Select Condition —displays a dialog box that lists the conditions currently defined for the worksheet. Select a condition to become the first part of the advanced conditional expression. With this option you can filter the data using several sequential conditions. That is, condition 1 filters the data, and then based on the results from condition 1, condition 2 filters the data. Copy Condition —displays a dialog box that lists the conditions currently defined for the worksheet. Copying a condition inserts it on the line in the New Condition dialog box. You can then edit it, or add other features.

2. To add another line to the condition, click Add.

By default, the two conditional expressions are grouped with the Boolean AND.

3. To change the grouping, click the AND in the expressions, and then click the Or or
