Is there a way to simplify the below filter logic as it exceeds what is allowed character wise in SalesForce? I tried (1 AND 2 AND 6 AND 7 AND (5 AND 9 AND 3 OR 4)) OR (1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 8 AND 10) but get the following error "Your filter is missing right operand to AND or OR".

What I'm trying to simplify:

(1 AND 2 AND 5 AND 6 AND 7 AND 9 AND 3) OR (1 AND 2 AND 4 AND 6 AND 7) OR (1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 8 AND 10)

Appreciate the help!

    Welcome to SFSE! please see How to Ask on getting the most from the Community. I'd create formula fields on the object to represent all or part of each (...) expression. You can also factor out the 1 and 2 which will save you a few chars

    To fix the immediate error, you're missing a left parenthesis for the 3 OR 4 section.

The rule for parentheses is that every operator within a group must be AND or OR. (5 AND 9 AND 3 OR 4) violates this rule. I ended up reordering the original filter and spaced out the values to come up with:

(1 AND 2 AND 3 AND       5 AND 6 AND 7 AND       9       ) OR 
(1 AND 2 AND       4 AND       6 AND 7                   ) OR 
(1 AND 2 AND 3 AND                         8 AND       10)

From there, I could see the common groups [1, 2], [3, 5, 9], [3, 8, 10], [4], and [6, 7].

After some more reordering, I ended up with the following:

1 AND 2 AND ((3 AND 8 AND 10) OR (((3 AND 5 AND 9) OR 4) AND 6 AND 7))

I'm pretty sure this is correct, but you'll want to verify this for yourself on paper.
