Filter query syntax problem with "Created By" column

Posted on by euromedi1

I am facing a problem when i try to update a sharepoint list from an excel file.

Mainly i have a query filter syntax problem on Get item .

in the SP list , the column " Created By" , i have adjusted , so i see the work e mail from my domain. , the column " NAME" on the excel has the same email address list. but if i execute the flow i have the error : Expression is not valid.

As you can see , the expression can read both , but for some reason it cannot compare them.

I also try on the filter query , not to write the " Created By" , and i put it as a function , i had the same result.

On the second photo , both email address is 100% exactly the same

Could you please help me ?

Hi!
I think there is a missing single quote at the end of your ODATA expression
Hope this helps

But Right now , i have the error : One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.

Hi!

Maybe a typo, make sure you try with
Author/EMail instead (capital M)

If this doesn't work either, Can you share a screenshot of your current flow design, so I can see the ODATA expression on your 'Get items' action block?
Thanx!

This is my block of get item

Please note that the excel column : NAME , has the emails addresses

Maybe the solution is multiple filter ( but i don't know the syntax to fix it !!!) on filter Query

It Works !!!! When you want to use the "created By"( for instance i want to use the creator email ) , the syntax for the filter query is : Author/EMail eq 'type_your_column_name'

Thanks for your help
