Filter Query - using column with name

Hi!

 

I'm having some trouble using the Filter Query box in Get Items.

 

I want to run my flow but only pull through items that relate to a persons name (column ID Line Manager) but each time I try it fails.  

 

I've tried using these already;

Line Manager eq Name

Line Manager eq 'Name'

Line Manager eq "Name"

 

I've also tried putting the Name in as an expression but that doesn't work either.

 

This is probably so simple to do but just can't work it out!

    Hello @RRMX1 ,

    you must use the column internal name and then it's:

    ColumnInternalName eq 'Name'

    You can take the internal name at the end of the url on the 'Edit column' page in SharePoint.
