Condition	Description
is	Returns a specific average number of items, such as “4.20”, “7”, or “5.10”. Tip Use the following conditions to return a range of averages instead of a specific average: is between, is greater than, is greater than or equal to, is less than, and is less than or equal to.
is between	More useful Returns a range of items that is between the specified averages.
is greater than	More useful Returns average number of items that are greater than the specified average number of items.
is greater than or equal to	More useful Returns average number of items that are greater than or equal to the specified average number of items.
is in list	Less useful Avoid using the is in list condition; individual average number of items are not typically made available in a list.
is less than	More useful Returns average number of items that are less than the specified average number of items.
is less than or equal to	More useful Returns average number of items that are less than or equal to the specified average number of items.
is not	Less useful Avoid using the is not condition. For example, if you specified “4.50” then any average number of items less than or equal to “4.49” and any average number of items greater than or equal to “4.51” would be returned.
is not between	Less useful Discovers outlier discount amounts. For example, if most of your average number of items are between “2.10” and “3.20”, use “2.10” and “3.20” to return averages that were less than and greater than those values.
is not in list	Less useful Avoid using the is not in list condition when individual profit amounts are not made available as a list.
is not NULL	Returns customer records that have a value, such as “4.10”, “10”, and “.90”, but also “ “ (a space) and “0” (zero). If the record has any value it will be returned.
