Example

John Smith is an employee in a department store. He works in both the clothing and sports departments. To generate a report that contains all transactions that he made in the month of October 2020 for jackets worth more than $200 in both the clothing and sports departments, you would add the filters below:
Data type Condition Search term
Item description Contains word Jacket
Item total amount Greater than $200

Start date and time Between 10/01/2020 12:00:00 AM to 10/31/2020 11:59:59 PM

You want to compare the sales he made last year. To do this, you can create a condition group that uses And as a search operator, and Include as a Condition applied with other groups. You would then select that group from the Filters section and apply the following search conditions:
Data type Condition Search term
Start date and time Between 10/01/2019 12:00:00 AM to 10/31/2019 11:59:59 PM
