I’m trying to create a report using ‘or’ statements. I found this help on Trailblazer, but doesn’t tell me how to write out the statement in the report. Any advice?

It would be ‘Community’ equals ‘a’ or ‘b’ or ‘c’ Thanks for any help [

Still very much learning Salesforce and all. 🙂

Hi @kkardein,

Just to confirm, are you referring to HubSpot or Salesforce?

In case you’re referring to HubSpot, OR criteria can currently not be selected directly. In contact reports there is however a workaround: you can create a contact list with your desired criteria and filter your report by that list.

Hope this helps!
