Can I just point out an important detail for the filter?: People born in the United States People with an Immigration event "return not matching" The Option specification is crucial - it should be "At least one rule must apply" NOT "All rules must apply" "All rules" is equivalent to selecting - either people not born in the United States OR people without an immigration event whereas the option "at least one rule" is equivalent to selecting - people who are BOTH not born in the United States AND have no immigration event HTH Doug On 18/03/2022 01:01, [email protected] wrote: > OK Dave, thanks to you I now I have something that works.
