Query by Multiple List Option


A type of input must be selected from the set criteria list. The query will not be valid unless a selection is made.

Identifiers can be entered in two formats: (1) Enter a string of identifiers, each separated by a comma. (2) Enter identifiers in a column.

The standard forms for multiple listing follow.

Comma-separated string:
          Identifier,Identifier,Identifier

Column:
          Identifier
          Identifier
          Identifier

For your convenience, a multiple data list (in either form shown above) can be copied from other software and pasted into the multiple list text box.
