Regex Filters in Google Analytics?

Hello! I saw another post on this but I don't think that's what I was looking for.
I'm trying to build a regex filter for the Google Analytics connector and I'm wondering how I can exclude a certain regex statement. This is what I have so far but I'm actually not sure what the operator should be. This filter is supposed to exclude a certain page from being counted towards the report, and I have metrics like pageviews, sessions etc.
{
"dimensionFilterClauses": [
{
"filters": [
{
"dimensionName": "ga:pagePath",
"operator": "",
"expressions": [
"/grammar-and-plagiarism/"
]
}
]
}
]
}

Hi @etszyingho
As part of your filter you can negate the filter by passing in
"not": "True",
It would look something like:
{ "dimensionFilterClauses": [ { "filters": [ { "not": "True", "dimensionName": "ga:pagePath", "operator": "", "expressions": [ "/grammar-and-plagiarism/" ] } ] } ] }

Hi @GrantSmith - can I ask you another question about REGEX filters? How can I best specify exclusion of multiple regex values within a filter? I am using the following but I don't think that Domo is giving me the right data points. I'm getting discrepancies between GA UI and also Domo, and double checked the views.
I've tried using something like IN_LIST as well as PARTIAL but that also did not work. The issue is that Domo is not filtering the correct data when I add in multiple filters.
FYI this is a correction post for the correct filter expressions
{"dimensionFilterClauses": [ { "filters": [ { "not" : "True", "dimensionName": "ga:pagePath", "operator": "REGEX", "expressions": [ "popular-problems" ] }, { "not" : "True", "dimensionName": "ga:pagePath", "operator": "REGEX", "expressions": [ "problemwidget" ] } ] } ] }
