Network For Good - Filter Question

Hi there!

So weekly I do what I call ‘balancing the books’ and part of that is pulling the check and cash donation info from the most current week through the Giving tab on NFG. I typically put in a few filters to get the exact data I need: payment date is greater than or equal to last Saturday(‘s date), payment type equal check, payment type equals cash.

Now for some reason when I do those three filters together, nothing shows up. It says nothing exists within those parameters. Instead I have to replace the ‘payment equals’ with ‘payment does not equal.’ So now my filters are: payment date is greater than or equal to last Saturday(‘s date), payment does not equal direct, payment does not equal in-kind, payment does not equal credit card, etc.

Is there a reason it’s glitching like this for me or a work around besides just pulling them separately and combining the sheets?

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@minguse! I think this could be happening due to how the rules are being read (the and or all selection on the right). Basically, if you select “All” with all three filters, that is saying that you are looking for donations within that time frame and the payment method was check and cash. If you select “Any” then it would say you are looking for all donations within a time frame OR it came through via Check OR Cash. Neither of those work for what you’re looking for so you will need to add a grouping which allows you to have a rule outside of the grouping and within the grouping. 

Here’s what the filter would look like: 



If you want some refresher on how filter rules work, this is a good help article to walk you through:
