A Salesforce Administrator at a SaaS enterprise is building an Account report for key account managers. The business requirements state that the report must display Accounts that belong to either the 'Healthcare' or 'Financial Services' industry, AND meet at least one of the following criteria: have an Annual Revenue exceeding $10,000,000 OR maintain an active 'Platinum' SLA subscription. The administrator configures the following report filters:
1. Industry EQUALS Healthcare
2. Industry EQUALS Financial Services
3. Annual Revenue GREATER THAN 10000000
4. SLA EQUALS Platinum
Which filter logic expression should the administrator apply to fulfill this exact business requirement?
- (1 OR 2) AND (3 OR 4)Answer
- B(1 AND 2) AND (3 OR 4)
- C1 OR 2 AND 3 OR 4
- D(1 OR 2 AND 3) OR 4
Answer
The expression (1 OR 2) AND (3 OR 4) correctly groups the industry picklist options and the qualifier conditions.
The expression grouping filters 1 and 2 with an OR operator inside parentheses ensures the record matches either specified industry. Similarly, grouping filters 3 and 4 with an OR operator inside parentheses ensures the record fulfills at least one qualifying condition. Joining both parenthesized groups with an AND operator ensures that an account must satisfy both overarching requirements.
