3) Change this line to the following, and replace the portion MYINTERNALCOUMNNAME with the internal column name for your column

4) Save your file

5) Import the web part

    You cant do this OOTB, I think probably from a performance issue they limited to 3, you would either have to look at writing your own webpart or take a look at http://www.lightningtools.com/pages/lightning-conductor-web-part.aspx

    Alternatively you could use a DVWP to filter by more than 3 columns….
