ODATA filter using And operator

(1) Share

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a flow where I get items from a sharepoint list and filter them by two or more columns, but every time I try to use the And operator in the ODATA filter, I get a bad request error. Is this just a broken implementation of filtering or am I actually doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi @IanBrooks,

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

Do you use the And operator in Filter Query field of “Get items” action?

Further, could you please show a bit more about the error message?

I suppose that you want to filter items based on multiple columns of SharePoint list, I think there is something wrong with your formula. Please take a try to change "And" Operator into "and" operator:

Best regards,

Kris

Hi Kris,

You've answered my question, the And operator isn't supported at present, which is a real shame as it is restricting the usability of the filter. Hopefully it will come in a future update!

Thanks

Ian

Thanks for sharing the link. It is a very valuable info!

I guess for some reason you have discarded using Filter Array action block, right?

@efialttesThat's correct, I didn't really have a lot of choice as it simply doesn't fit the bill for our needs at present

This is supported now. I have the following odata filter which works:

Frequency ne null and ApprovalStatus eq 'Approved' and TaskStatus ne 'Complete' and SelectMethod ne 'By Attribute'"

Is it really working now.? I tried below condition and got error message

Company eq 'Test' and Zone eq 'SW'

Is there other way to get a filtered excel row with multiple conditions.

Did you ever get this worked out? I'm also trying to filter on multiple "eq" conditions, but I'm getting an error indicating that mutltiple conditions is not supported. I'm using the List Rows Present in Table action within the Excel (Business) connector.

Thanks @efialttes

Using the filter array action block is a great workaround for the "and" operator not working !

You made my ~~day~~ week !

Did we ever get an answer? It looks to me like "and" is not working in the ODATA query for filter on getting rows from Excel.

ODATA expression: SubmissionMonth eq '@{triggerBody()?['SubmissionMonth']}' and Entity eq '@{triggerBody()?['Vendor']}'
400 Bad Request
Error message: Invalid filter clause: unsupported operation. Only single 'eq', 'ne', 'contains', 'startswith' or 'endswith' is currently supported.

You could maybe try adding a calculated column directly to your sharepoint list: if (and ( ColumnA="criteria1" , ColumnB="criteria2" ), "yes" , "no"))
