Hi,  
  
I’ve created a Custom Field ‘Member’ , Data Type is Select.  
  
I have created two Options, Yes and No , default value is No  
  
  
  
Now I’ve created a segment that filters on ‘Visitid URL like …’ . Segment contains 226 contacts  
  
Now when I add an AND filter ‘Member equals Yes’ the segment contains 13 contacts  
  
When I change this to ‘Member equals No’ the segment contains 3 contacts.  
  
  
  
So No -\> 3 , Yes -\> 13 , in total 226? How can this happen?

I have the same problem. It seems a bug to me. I have created a new Custom Field as member\_of

There are two available values site\_1 and site\_2, and the user can have multiple values (both site\_1 and site\_2). I also set the default value for the custom field to site\_1.

I went to the user and updated his profile by selecting site 1.

When I create a new segment and choose member\_of including site\_1 my segment becomes empty…

Ok. If I use the same value as label for the custom field available values then I can filter but if a member has both of the values (site\_1 and site\_2) then he is excluded by the segment (my segment is member\_of INCLUDING site\_1)

Have you checked if in those 226 are anonymous leads?
