Hi All,

Can any one tell me what would me the CAML query for the following condition

Where Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5 are the columns of my list and 22,23,Yes 16 And 56 are some mock values.

This should work. Basically, you have to start writing the query with the AND outside the parenthesis and work your way into the groupings.

<Where>
    <And>
        <Or>
            <And>
                <Eq>
                    <FieldRef Name='Col1' />
                    <Value Type='Text'>22</Value>
                </Eq>
                <Eq>
                    <FieldRef Name='Col2' />
                    <Value Type='Text'>23</Value>                   
                </Eq>
            </And>
            <Eq>
                <FieldRef Name='Col3' />
                <Value Type='Boolean'>1</Value>
            </Eq>
        </Or>
        <Or>
            <Eq>
                <FieldRef Name='Col4' />
                <Value Type='Text'>16</Value>
            </Eq>
            <Eq>
                <FieldRef Name='Col5' />
                <Value Type='Text'>56</Value>
            </Eq>
        </Or>
    </And>
</Where>
