There is also the Package-> Mutual Match filter to reduce a Package to combinations in similar ways, but it can not be used in a complex filter. I also could have just provided the ticket files for the combinations, but with the above number grouping methods, it lets you manipulate numbers/digits in the filter for testing(etc.) and avoid having to track/create other files. I will continue to edit/update the topic as needed. If there are any questions, suggestions(i.e. corrections/other ways to filter etc.), let me know.
