    Hi -

    Is it possible to create an advanced find that will return all members (Contacts) that belong to List 'A'  AND List 'B'?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    try below.

    1. Go to Advance Find for Contact entity.

    2. In the 'select' dropdown --> select marketing list from 'Related'

    3. Add condition where "Marketing list equal - your lists"

    Hope this helps

    Cheers,

    H.Desai

    Hi -

    That works if the grouping condition is "OR": All contacts where Marketing List equals "Marketing List A" OR equals "Marketing List B", etc.

    If the grouping condition is "AND", it returns nothing: All contacts where Marketing List equals "Marketing List A" AND equals "Marketing List B", etc.

    Try it yourself.

    I thought I found the answer here:

    http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0f8145b0-44cf-4520-a766-f68b1e074dcb/what-are-the-advanced-find-limitations

    But when I try it, it runs for a few minutes but the results are the same as if I had grouped with an "OR".

    Has anybody been able to accomplish this through advanced find?

    Hi,

    You are right. I trid with "And" which fetched me 0 result. This is really strange because so far I have been using advance find for other entities

    in same manner. Not sure if it is a bug or just doesn't work where marketing list is involved.

    An eye opener. :)

    Apologies for posting solution without testing. Will dig in more to see if there is any way around to this issue.

    Cheers,

    H.Desai

    Hi H.Desai -

    Yes, it looks like there's a limitation when the relationship is N-N, which is what the relationship is between Lists and Contacts. I wrote a t-sql script using an inner select that works, so I'll probably have to use that to construct a custom report.


    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Eric,

    While searching for this solution I came across below thread. It also says that solution is to refer parent entity twice in Advance Find but when I tried it didn't work.

    Here is a link: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7e5ed547-c933-46cf-843b-f92aab6b6689/2011-advanced-find-and-and-conditions

    Probably someone else on this forum can shed some light on this otherwise SQL query is the only option as you have done.

    Thanks,

    H.Desai
