Selecting multiple field values using range in QGIS

Question

I have a shape of contour lines that I need to filter using the Height Above Sea Level like this: contour lines from 500 to 1200 and from 2000 to 2500.

I can do it in several steps generating a shape using the first condition and another shape using the second, and finally combining them using these expressions:

• "ALTURA_SOB" >= 500 AND "ALTURA_SOB" <= 1200
• "ALTURA_SOB" >= 2000 AND "ALTURA_SOB" <= 2500

Nevertheless, I want to know if there is a way to do it in one step using the "Select by Expression" tool?

Answer 1

Use this expression:

("ALTURA_SOB" >=500 AND  "ALTURA_SOB" <= 1200) OR ("ALTURA_SOB" >=2000 AND  "ALTURA_SOB" <= 2500)
