Overview
Now that you’ve learned some basic filter clause operators from this knowledge article: Step 4 - Add Filter Clauses, you can add more complex filters by using the operators mentioned on this article. The following operators are mostly used to compare two fields.

Comparison Operators
Like
Like is a wildcard value. This will return values that contain a pattern match.
Example 1
“Suburb” Like B (will return Broadview, Broadmeadows, Brighton)
Not Like
Displays records if a condition is not TRUE or don’t match the selected pattern match.
Example 1
“Surname” NOT LIKE Smith (will return other surnames like: Jones, Brown, Davies except for Smith)
Field Equals (=)
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 Not Equals !=
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 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 with 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 with 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.
