BEx query design: defining complex filters?

Question

Is it possible to define complex filters in a query definition? By complex I mean using logical operators (AND, OR, NOT)
Example: report giving sales results
I want to have
(Customers from Germany <b> AND </b> product type A)
<b> OR </b>
(Customers from Romania <b> AND </b> product type B)
If I define a standard filter:
Customer country IN (DE,RO)
Product type IN (A,B)
I will obtain all combinations while I only want to have the couples {(DE,A),(RO,B)}.
Thxs.

Hide is just to remove the "object" from the display. It is used as an intermediate filter for the object that includes the logical combinations that one would like to get in the results.
In my example:
In the Query Designer:
1. Define a structure (rows)
2. right-click on it and make new selections corresponding with
a) Country=Germany (:='DE')
b) Country=Romania (:='RO')
c) Material=A
d) Material=B
3. Right-click on each of them and "hide" them
4. New formula in the structure:
TEST:=(( 'DE' AND 'A' ) OR ( 'RO' AND 'B' ) )
5. You need to edit the Cell definition and make use of the Help Cells (select therein the KF you need to display; e.g. "QUANTITY SOLD").
6. "Play" with Cell definition and define a final KF such as:
FINAL:='QUANTITY SOLD' * 'HELP'
You need to try by yourself...
