Yes/No (check box) filtering in Content Query Web Part

To filter for a query for the Yes/No check box entitled "PG Milestone", configure CQWP like this:

This is another one of those obvious-once-you-know-it but hard-to-find-an-answer-to questions: How to filter on a Yes/No check box using the content query web part.

The first search result I find using the search term "filter yes/no content query web part" is flat out wrong, so I thought I'd put this up there and see if it can replace the incorrect result in typical search results.

It's quite easy: True values = "1" and false values do not equal "1" (pretty retro, actually).

In the above example, I created site column of type "Yes/No (checkbox)" named "PG Milestone". I added it to a doc library, uploaded a few documents, set the value for a couple and tested it.

I want to generate a query which list each email record of each which is checked "Yes". I have a qyery which each Yes/No field on it. And this formula: [Forms]![FORM WITH CHECK BOXES].[Yes/No FIELD NAME].. SO it points to a form where I can check multiple boxes and then the form has a button to run the query... It works fine except the relationship is an "AND" relationship where if an email record has Check Box 1 & Check Box 2 checked, I have to filter exactly like that. What I want is if Check Box 1 & Check Box 2 is checked to get result which include those records as well as the records where Only Check Box 1 is checked and the records where Check Box 2 is checked... Any ideas? May 21

Is that right below? <property name="FilterField2" type="string">ImportantNotices</property> <property name="FilterValue2" type="string">Yes</property> <property name="FilterOperator2" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.WebControls.ContentByQueryWebPart+FilterFieldQueryOperator, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c">Eq</property> <property name="FilterType2" type="string">Text</property> Thanks very much for your help.
