[SOLVED] InfoAssist 8201 - Create a filtering condition
Creating a report in InfoAssist 8201. To create a filter I drag a field from the
Data Pane into the Filter Pane (or click on the Filter button within the Data Tab :>).

Next, the "Create a filtering condition" dialogue box pops up with 6 tabs along
the top. The tabs are:

New Filter
New Expression
Insert Before
Insert AFter
Group
Ungroup

I have not had much luck finding documentation on the "New Expression" option.
Can anyone explain it ?

Thanks!

Expression merely allows you to code logic yourself instead of forcing you to pick it from the drop downs in new filter. For instance, you can have the following expression:

  
WHERE CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST - CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST GT 1000;
