Why are my reports pulling in other informataion
I have a report that I have filtered to pull in tasks for individuals. It's supposed to pull in any tasks that do not have a status of 'Complete' or 'Not Needed' but multiple tasks are pulling in that have been completed for many months.
How can I fix this?

That would be why then. "Not Needed" is "not equal to Complete". Technically those rows meet your criteria.
For the first set, try "is not one of" instead of "is not equal to". This should allow you to select multiple options to exclude and will also allow you to get rid of the second filter group.

Hi All,
Please find 2 screenshots attached. You'll see its pulling in 'Not Needed' status tasks even though the filter is set to not include them. Wording in filter is identical to status'.

@Laura Kelly In the screenshot of the report filter, I can't see what is off to the right. Do you have it set as "And" or "Or"?

It's set as OR
