How to filter based on the selected value of the Multiple List Box?

Currently, i have 2 list box and i called it as 1stListBoxCountry & 2ndListBoxCountry to display all the available value of the World Country. i want filter and display the result based on the 1stListBoxCountryand 2ndListBoxCountry as below scenario. May i know how to filter the selected value of the 2 list box above by writing the expression with OR condition?

Example :

ID

User

1st Preferred Country

2nd Preferred Country

1

Alex

Malaysia

Singapore

2

Billy

Thailand

Indonesia

Scenario 1,

If user select 1st Preferred Country "Malaysia" OR 2nd Preferred Country = "Indonesia", the report will showing 2 records.

Scenario 2,

If user select 1st Preferred Country "Malaysia" OR 2nd Preferred Country = "Singapore", the report will showing 1 records.

Thanks.

Hi Vick,

maybe a simple straight_table_chart would do this?

- If you select both your listbox_values (1st_preferred_country and 2nd_preferred_country) as dimensions and the 
   records as expressions, then you can select on both fields
   => it will automatically be an AND selection - as soon as you select on the 1st listbox_value, you will only be given
        the option to choose between those values (from the 2nd listbox) which are compatible

       => The same effect that you get when you add two listboxes - you select in one, and a part of the values in the
             second one turns grey (non-compatible)

=> I think there is a blog around here by Henric Cronstroem about how to implement the OR_logic (or v.v.?)
=> Sorry, I don't remember too clearly anymore.

Best regards,
