One column has the ownerID and the other column has the lastUpdatedByID. I want to create a text filter that compares the value and only displays if they are not equal. It is an hour report
Here is my text filter
hours=0
hours_Mod=ne
lastUpdatedByID=FIELD:ownerID
lastUpdatedByID_Mod=cine
When it runs, it does not filter out the ones that do not match. It displays all of them
Solved! Go to Solution.

hi BillPe, if it helps to give you perspective, think of this "compare field" functionality from a numerical standpoint. (I understand that you're more trying to use it on an ID field -- but I've never been able to get any form of "not equals" to work so this is where my brain rests.)
What works for me is:
* equals
* less than
* greater than
With that in mind, consider cheating the system by using less than and greater than. Your filter should nut out to:
OR:1:hours=0
OR:1:hours_Mod=ne
OR:1:lastUpdatedByID=FIELD:ownerID
OR:1:lastUpdatedByID_Mod=gt
hours=0
hours_Mod=ne
lastUpdatedByID=FIELD:ownerID
lastUpdatedByID_Mod=lt
In other words, "give me everything except equals." Hope this helps.

Thank you Skye. Your choice of using GT and LT worked fine for me.
