Ita Matrix software tutorial for fare code filtering?
Is there a sticky somewhere on flyertalk with a tutorial on using the ita matrix software, particularly for advanced use-cases? I use it often to plan trips but cannot seem to figure out how to only allow or disallow multiple fare codes on a single carrier. For example, SFO-AMS r/t on KLM only for fare codes Y,B,M; or, SFO-AMS r/t main cabin excluding R,G,V,X.

Thanks in advance!

If you use the old version you can click the (?) to bring up examples. There should also be a thread in a different forum, maybe Travel Tools, that goes into the more advanced ways to use it. But, to answer your question for faring you use:
f bc=y|bc=b|bc=m
You can specify carrier in the routing line or the extension code line. So you could combine them like:
f bc=y|bc=b|bc=m;f KL.SFO+AMS.

That will only return fares booked in those codes on KL filed fares between SFO and AMS.

Really no familiar with Matrix and tried based on what I could find. Was hoping someone can just put it and I can cut and paste.

Seems like interesting tool. Thanks much for any assitance.

This should work. Looking for fares on AC with booking class Y or B.

f ac..; f bc=y | bc=b
