In list ot other view, display not "done"/"archived"-state tickets
Asked by PION-DRANCY Fran?ois:

Hello,

I use to set as "done" or "archived" tickets when they are finished.

I need to display all tickets which are not in these states.

Filter allows me to select several states, but not the negation of the state values (NOT In ("done","achived").

How to do that ?

Best regards.

The NOT IN operator should work for a query with the status field: <https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-operators/#NOT-IN>

For example:

```
project = myProjectName AND status NOT IN (Done, Archived)
```

Please post the exact JQL you are using which is not working as expected. That will help the community to offer additional suggestions.

Kind regards,  
Bill

But I don't know how to add/link a JQL filter on "List" view. I only access to interactive-form :

Best regards


author: Bill Sheboy
body: Thank you for that image, as it shows you are using a Jira Work Management (JWM) project, and that is on the **List view**, selecting the Filter options at the top-right.

To filter by the other status values, please scroll down in that filter list and you will find the Status fields. Then select only the ones you want to see.

But I would select a NOT on only two status among all. ...Instead selecting all except two.


author: Bill Sheboy
body: Yes, but not from that List View as I do not believe it is possible to do that.

If you use JQL directly from the *menu item Filters \> View All Issues* you may use that syntax with NOT IN.

body: Hi [@PION-DRANCY Fran?ois](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5515690),

I don't know if this problem justifies additional tooling for you, but just to put it out there: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, [JXL for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1224710?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atlassian-community&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=2748895).

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features - including support for (configurable) *issue hierarchies* , *issue grouping* by any issue field(s), *sum-ups* , or *conditional formatting* - and works across any number of projects.

Plus, it supports logical operators like NOT for all columns of your sheet, like so:

![status-filtering-not.gif](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/339461i714846B0389807E5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "status-filtering-not.gif")

Alternatively, as every JXL sheet is powered by a JQL query or a saved filter, you can also simply exclude these issues from your sheet using a status NOT IN clause in JQL.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
