Posted on by thanke

I am trying to create a conditon in Flow where I look at a field in a sharepoint list and if the data in the field is either "open' or "pending" the conditon is true.

However, I an struggling to understand the "or" expresion syntax within flow

Can someone help explain what is needed in the expression1 and expression2?

thanks,

Todd

Hi @thanke,

Could you please share a screenshot of your flow’s configuration?

Which data type does the field that you mentioned belong to in your SharePoint list?

Further, could you please show a bit more about expression1 and expression2?

I have created a SharePoint list on my side and the list include the filed which is a Choice type column. The value of Choice type column includes “Open”, “Pending” and “Complete”.

I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:

Within Condition box, click “Edit in advanced mode”, type the following formula:

@or(equals(items('Apply_to_each')?['Status']?['Value'], 'Open'),equals(items('Apply_to_each')?['Status']?['Value'], 'Pending'))

The flow works successfully as below:

More details about Or expression, please check the following article:

Best regards,

Kris

Thanks. Iwas trying otuse the "Edit in basic mode". Is that not possible? If not, can you help me understand when you would use the "Edit in basic mode"? I would think I shoule be able to select the filed in the Sharepoint list as the first "Choose a value" and then select is equal to. From here I would use the Expression option "or(expression1,espression2)" when I select the second "Choose a value". I just don't know what to use for "expression1 or expression2". I am not familar with JSON and was hoping to keep it simple within the basic edit mode. Is that not possible?

Screenshoot below

Thanks
Todd
