Use OR-mode with multiple filters?

Is it possible to use "OR" logic when making selections in multiple filters?

Explanation:  I want to be able to pull results if Field1 contains A, B or C  OR  if Field2 contains A, B, or C (or D or E or F etc.). 

The fields to filter against could be any of over 40 possible fields and the values to filter for could be anything.

I'm not well versed in variables and while I can write a pretty mean formula, I'm no expert in Qlik expression syntax.

Can anyone help?

You could look at the P() function if you want to use Set Analysis, but with 40 fields it would be very complex.

=Count({<X=P({<Field1={'A','B','C'}>}X)+P({<Field2={'A','B','C','D','E','F'}>}X)>} X)

 

In Qlikview, I've used a combination of the P() function and Alternate States to dynamically build the Set Analysis statement based on the user's selection of fields.
