Help with expression syntax

Hi - simple query here for you experts!

I want the exclude data through the load script. I can do it for one value:

WHERE NOT MARKET = 'INTERCOMPANY' ;

this works fine, but if want to exclude multiple then i am trying to use the following:

WHERE NOT MARKET = 'INTERCOMPANY' OR 'EXPORT';

But this doesnt work - do you know what the right syntax is?

Hi,

You have to use some thing like

WHERE NOT MARKET = Match(MARKET, 'INTERCOMPANY' , 'EXPORT' );

Just 'EXPORT' will not return a Boolean or equivalent representation, I believe.

Try

where not (MARKET = 'INTERCOMPANY' or MARKET = 'EXPORT');

maybe your could use IN (depending on your database used, like

where not MARKET in ('INTERCOMPANY','EXPORT);

Hi,

you can try this.

WHERE (MARKET <>'INTERCOMPANY') AND (MARKET <>'EXPORT')

regards,

Marco
