Keywords, wildcard queries

Tag based queries

State, reason, or workflow change queries

Date and iteration-based queries

Link and attachment count queries

Identity-based queries

Work item count and numeric field queries

Query tasks

Operators and macros supported for each data type

The following table indicates the operators and macros available for the different field data types. Each field is associated with a data type. You can find the data type listed in the descriptions of each field, which you can look up using the Work item field index. Operators available for defining a query clause depend on the data type of the field that you select. For more detailed descriptions of data types, operators, and macros, see Query fields, operators, and macros.

Note

The following macros are only supported from the web portal: @CurrentIteration, @CurrentIteration +/- n, @Follows, @MyRecentActivity, @RecentMentions, @RecentProjectActivity, and @TeamAreas. Queries that contain these macros won't work when opened in Visual Studio/Team Explorer, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft Project.
