javascript NOT IN LIST

I have working DDX bricks card that has filters on the data.

The working code is

const where = ['ELT_Code = HRES','YRMONum = 202305','Scenario != Forecast','TimeSeriesShort != FY','FTE_Position_Type != Actual_Active_Positions'];

For the FTE_Position_Type I need to include more than one exclusion.

I have tried several combinations of single quotes, double quotes, brackets, parenthesis, nothing is working.

Does anyone know the semantics of the code that will make this work?

    Try using something like this, using the || as an "OR"

    const where = [
    'ELT_Code = HRES',
    'YRMONum = 202305',
    'Scenario != Forecast',
    'TimeSeriesShort != FY',
    'FTE_Position_Type != Actual_Active_Positions' ||
    'FTE_Position_Type != Another_Exclusion' ||
    'FTE_Position_Type != Yet_Another_Exclusion'];

    Tried this below but it didn't work

    const where = ['ELT_Code = COOR','RecordType = FTE','Blue_MA_SSP_Code = TCMV','TimeSeriesShort = CM','FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Active_Positions'||'FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Open_Reqs'];

    I did find that doing it nested works

    const where = [
    ['ELT_Code = COOR','RecordType = FTE','Blue_MA_SSP_Code = TCMV','TimeSeriesShort = CM','FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Active_Positions'],
    ['ELT_Code = COOR','RecordType = FTE','Blue_MA_SSP_Code = TCMV','TimeSeriesShort = CM','FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Open_Reqs']
    ];

    QQ, did you try the following:

    const where = ['ELT_Code=COOR','RecordType=FTE','Blue_MA_SSP_Code=TCMV','TimeSeriesShort=CM','FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Active_Positions',
'FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Open_Reqs','FTE_Position_Type!=Yet_Another_Exclusion']

    Since you want to exclude all of the 3 options then this might work and be a bit less complex than your previous approach and return the same result. It'd be a different story if you would want to retrieve ones that are any of a subset of options, but that is not your case (I'm guessing you're using the Data Endpoint for retrieving the data)

    sorry getting lost where you are adding the 3rd criteria as I only have two but yes, originally I tried it all together as one, it would not read correctly, that's why I came on for help

    const where = ['ELT_Code = COOR','RecordType = FTE','Blue_MA_SSP_Code = TCMV','TimeSeriesShort = CM','FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Active_Positions','FTE_Position_Type!=Actual_Open_Reqs'];
