Filtering using OR AX 2012

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by lukbel 282

Hi all,

Running AX2012 R3 CU8.

I would like to filter on a form based on two fields, and have it display a line when either of the two conditions are met rather than when both are met - it would appear that this feature cannot be done by the basic Ctrl+F3 query edit

Would I be able to go into my existing form and manually insert an SQL SELECT filter over the form's current datasources?

The two fields in question come from two separate datasources which are linked together by a join - if the above is impossible would I have to alter both of these datasources and if so where would I do this?

    Try typing in

    ((<tablename>.<fieldname> == <some criteria>) || (<tablename>.<someotherfieldname> == <some criteria>))

    in one of the filter fields of a given table in the Query edit form.

    Is it inquiry form or user input or update UI. If it is inquiry UI, please create view and add to data source impose the querybuilddatasource to filter the data through addrange.

    If it is user input UI, please use queryBuildDataSource direct in display source executequery() /init() method as per your business scenario to filter the data.

    Please find the OR/AND all type condition with multiple tables which will be good example.

    Hi Sohaib, this would be ideal for my purposes - however when I try and add the range in a test example, I get the following error:

    "Argument 'field' is incompatible with the required type"

    the following is my attempt:

    testRange = this.query().dataSourceName('SalesLine').addRange(fieldStr(SalesLine,testField));

    put fieldNum instaed of fieldStr

    testRange = this.query().dataSourceName('SalesLine').addRange(fieldNum(SalesLine,testField));

    In general you error message means expected data type is being mismatched

    Hi,

    It was fieldNum when I first did it and I got that error - I changed it to fieldStr because the field in question was a string - is there something else I should be keeping in mind?

    Hi Bhaksar,

    I do have multiple data sources - where would I find the datasource number? also how would that be formatted? Like the following?

    .addRange(fieldStr(<number>,SalesLine,<fieldname>));

    QueryBuildDataSource    qbds;

    QueryBuildRange    qrg;

    qbds = this.query().dataSourceTable(tableNum(salesline));

    qrg = qbds.addRange(fieldNum(salesline, testField));

    or you can use

    this.query().dataSourceNo(saleslinedatasourcenumber in ur form).addRange(fieldNum(SalesLine,testField));
