I have to put together a Query statement and I am looking for a way to do something with an Everything BUT, I have maybe 2000 plus unique Identifiers for a Field in a table however I only want to pull all but the following "OUT,NAB,NHB". Not really sure how to do this?
The field in the database is called "chppon"

You need to use NOT IN.

can you give me an example of how to place that statement?
Does it go in the FROM section or the WHERE section?

WHERE [column] not in ('x','y','z')

WHERE [column] not in ('x','y','z')
So in order to Flip this Statement to True what would I change "Not in" too?

To remove the negation, remove the NOT. So IN.
But Phil's code does exactly what you asked. It would return all rows except the ones that have the value of x, y or z.

Yes it worked. I just wanted to make sure incase I need to run the other direction as this query is about 12 pages long already. Working with over 300 tables and billions of records. Just looked at it so much I feel brain dead.
