Adding Multiple Values to Query Expressions

You can add multiple values to a query expression either using the regular in or by using in (plain text). The in operators are case insensitive.

You can copy a list of multiple values from an external file into the Query Wizard by using the In operator to streamline the process. Multiple values from an existing list can be separated by a comma, semicolon, Enter, or Tab key. In addition, you can copy the values listed in the Query Wizard to an external file. In operator supports copying of up to 2000 values.
