Sharepoint list Get Items query filter: The expression is not valid.

Posted on by

Hi,

 

I have an issue with a Flow Sharepoint Get Items action.

 

Its a very simple filter that tries to get an item of a sharepoint list (lets call it List A) based on a value from another sharepoint list (Lets call that List B).  The Value in Column Title List A is 'Sol'.  List B Title has unique values, so I want to filter it out and only get the items that has 'Sol' in the Title.

The query is as follows

 

Title eq 'Title'

 

Which is

 

Title eq 'Sol'

 

But I get a invalid expression

 

The expression "Title
 eq 'Sol'" is not valid.
clientRequestId: 9704f697-51c7-47de-972e-40d0f764ba7e
serviceRequestId: 5abf9f9e-d0d9-7000-fe72-a61f41d61aed

 

I tried manually enterting the string 'Sol' but still the same.

 

If I remove the fiilter, I can see that the value is there

 

{
  "value": [
    {
      "@odata.etag""\"5\"",
      "ItemInternalId""1",
      "ID"1,
      "Title""Sol",
      "Email_x0020_address""sol@it-x.co.uk",
      "Allocated_x0020_number_x0020_of_"40,
      

blah blah blah

 

Now, I do have a work around where I use a condition and not use a a filter, BUT would like to see if I can work with a simple filter

    Hi @solte98,

     

    You should use expression:

    Title eq 'Title dynamic content of the item in List A'

     

    I have made a test on my side to create a flow as below:

    And the expression in the Filter Array column as below:

    Title eq '@{triggerBody()?['Title']}'

    When an item is created in the List A and the Title is Sol, the flow would run successfully as below:

    Best regards,

    Alice
