Hi, Rob.

You'll want to phrase it like this:
"ZTCA5CE10" = 'zip code 1' OR "ZTCA5CE10" = 'zip code 2'

Also, note that it uses double quotes around the field name, and
single quotes around the actual values.

Cheers,
Keith

I’m using a zip code shape file from the US census for the entire US and would like to create a new layer with just two zip codes.  When I go into properties/control feature symbology/add rule-based layer then go to create the filter, that’s where I run into trouble.  I’ve tried creating an expression string as follows:
