Conditional Operators

Do not include any space while using this inside the string.

It can be used in these two blocks:

Operation	Meaning	Example
eq	equal	(colName,eq,colValue)
neq	not equal	(colName,neq,colValue)
not	not equal (alias of neq)	(colName,not,colValue)
gt	greater than	(colName,gt,colValue)
ge	greater or equal	(colName,ge,colValue)
lt	less than	(colName,lt,colValue)
le	less or equal	(colName,le,colValue)
is	is	(colName,is,true/false/null)
isnot	is not	(colName,isnot,true/false/null)
in	in	(colName,in,val1,val2,val3,val4)
btw	between	(colName,btw,val1,val2)
nbtw	not between	(colName,nbtw,val1,val2)
like	like	(colName,like,%name)
isWithin	is Within (Available in `Date` and `DateTime` only)	(colName,isWithin,sub_op)
allof	includes all of	(colName,allof,val1,val2,…)
anyof	includes any of	(colName,anyof,val1,val2,…)
nallof	does not include all of (includes none or some, but not all of)	(colName,nallof,val1,val2,…)
nanyof	does not include any of (includes none of)	(colName,nanyof,val1,val2,…)

Comparison Sub-Operators

The following sub-operators are available in Date and DateTime columns.

Operation	Meaning	Example
today	today	(colName,eq,today)
tomorrow	tomorrow	(colName,eq,tomorrow)
yesterday	yesterday	(colName,eq,yesterday)
oneWeekAgo	one week ago	(colName,eq,oneWeekAgo)
oneWeekFromNow	one week from now	(colName,eq,oneWeekFromNow)
oneMonthAgo	one month ago	(colName,eq,oneMonthAgo)
oneMonthFromNow	one month from now	(colName,eq,oneMonthFromNow)
daysAgo	number of days ago	(colName,eq,daysAgo,10)
daysFromNow	number of days from now	(colName,eq,daysFromNow,10)
exactDate	exact date	(colName,eq,exactDate,2022-02-02)

For isWithin in Date and DateTime columns, the different set of sub-operators are used.

Operation	Meaning	Example
pastWeek	the past week	(colName,isWithin,pastWeek)
pastMonth	the past month	(colName,isWithin,pastMonth)
pastYear	the past year	(colName,isWithin,pastYear)
nextWeek	the next week	(colName,isWithin,nextWeek)
nextMonth	the next month	(colName,isWithin,nextMonth)
nextYear	the next year	(colName,isWithin,nextYear)
nextNumberOfDays	the next number of days	(colName,isWithin,nextNumberOfDays,10)
pastNumberOfDays	the past number of days	(colName,isWithin,pastNumberOfDays,10)

Logical Operators

It can be used if more than one condition is to be used.

Operation	Example
~or	(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~or((amount, gt, 200)~and(amount, lt, 2000))
~and	(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)~and((amount, gt, 200)~and(amount, lt, 2000))
~not	~not(checkNumber,eq,JM555205)
