Below is the flowchart of the issue that is arising, I am trying to transport excel data to a list on sharepoint under a site. The excel spreadsheet has numerous headings that I am trying to transport including 'Project Name', however it seems to be failing and I am not sure why. I have checked if the sites and list addresses are correct which they are so not sure what the issue presists.

The output of the code is here:

Hi

You need to put brackets like this

[Project Name] eq 'The values'

Since there is a space. Now in more places you would be using single quotes, but NOT in an Excel Filtering

Please make as the answer if this helps you please

Hi,

The reason why it is failing is because of OData query used in Get Items action.

Here the column name Project Name used is incorrect. in Odata filterquery, we should use internal column name rather than using display column name. To get the internal column name of sharepoint column- refer this

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/sharepoint-column-name-issue/m-p/3900506

Mostly it should be ProjectName in your case, so if right- filter query should be written as

ProjectName eq '939EglintonBlgdc'
