    Hi,
    Additional to Gopalan and Himanshu 's answers,
    You can use XrmToolbox 's Fetchxml Builder plugin or directly prepare your query in MS CRM advanced find and download your query as fetchxml.

    Hi MSCRM,

    Here is a sample FetchXML query. Guess this is what you are looking for:

    <fetch top="50" >

    <entity name="contact" >

    <filter type="and" >

    <filter type="or" >

    <condition attribute="firstname" operator="not-null" />
    <condition attribute="lastname" operator="not-null" />

    </filter>

    <filter type="or" >

    <condition attribute="emailaddress1" operator="not-null" />

    <condition attribute="telephone1" operator="not-null" />

    </filter>

    </filter>

    </entity>

    </fetch>

     

    Regards,

    Karthik

    Hi,

    You can use following fetch XML to achieve this.

    <fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">

     <entity name="account">

       <attribute name="name" />

       <attribute name="primarycontactid" />

       <attribute name="telephone1" />

       <attribute name="accountid" />

       <order attribute="name" descending="false" />

       <filter type="and">

         <filter type="and">

           <filter type="or">

             <condition attribute="name" operator="like" value="%abc%" />

             <condition attribute="name" operator="like" value="%xyz%" />

           </filter>

           <filter type="or">

             <condition attribute="accountnumber" operator="like" value="%123%" />

             <condition attribute="accountnumber" operator="like" value="%456%" />

           </filter>

         </filter>

       </filter>

     </entity>

    </fetch>

    One more thing, You can also create Advanced Find for your query and Download Fetch XML from there.

    Mark this answer as Verified if it helps.
