Delete the current condition line.
Field
Specifies the field to be filtered.
Specifies the operator to compose the filter expression.
- =
Equal to - >
Greater than - >=
Greater than or equal to - <
Less than - <=
Less than or equal to - !=
Not equal to - [not] in
Causes an enumerated list of values to appear in the WHERE clause predicate, used for evaluating for a true condition. For the operator "in" or "not in", multiple values separated by comma (,) are allowed. - [not] like
Like string pattern matching operator is used to compare the first expression string value to the pattern string (the second expression). If you want to use wildcard character in the pattern string, only "_" and "%" are supported. - [not] between
Allows the system to evaluate whether data values are located between a range of values indicated in the predicate. For the operator "between" or "not between", there are two value text boxes for typing the same type of values. - is [not] null
It is used in WHERE clause predicates to match null values occurring in a specified data field. For the operator "is null" or "is not null", the value text box is hidden.
Value
Specifies the value of how to filter the field. You can either type the value manually in the text box or select a value from the drop-down list. When you type multiple values manually, you should separate them with ",", and if "," or "\" is contained in the values, write it as "\," or "\\".
When you are editing conditional formatting on a field in a crosstab, the button 
is available. Select the button and you can choose an object from the value drop-down list to use its value in the condition.
Logic
Lists the logic operator.
- AND
Logic operator AND which is applied to this and the next line. - OR

Advanced Mode
The advanced mode enables the building of more complex filter conditions via the grouping of conditions.
