Using wildcards in filter expressionsHelpful Member!

I have a database of account names where I need to filter out any account name that begins with the 4-letter abbreviation of our hotels.  Here's what I'm using (which is not working):

NOT LIKE N'*DCBH*' OR NOT LIKE N'*DCBR*' OR NOT LIKE N'*LANP*'

I tried the % sign instead of *, but that didn't work either.

Any insight you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Use the % sign, and use AND instead of OR.

Thank you!  That worked perfectly.

To be clear
use the % for SQL wildcard matches
use the * for Wildcard matches in SSRS itself

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.
