Filter using toLower on email comparison

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 42

Trying to filter on an item that has an email column and compare it to a list that has an email column. Need to make them both lower case. I can use the calculated column on the lookup list that convert using Lower([Email]) in the SharePoint list, but it does not allow me to either use a calculated column in the source list item or use the toLower function in the expression.

    Hi @janla2112 

     

    Unfortunately, field type 'Calculated' cannot be used in the filter query.

    But you can use toLower() function in filter query. If you want to use function, please edit it in ‘Expression’, otherwise the flow will recognize it as plain text.

     

    And it seems that your filter query expression is in a wrong structure. Please make sure you put the field name of a column in front of ‘eq’. Only after ‘eq’ can you put expression or dynamic content.

    The syntax for the operator ‘eq’ in filter query is:

    eq: Test whether a field is equal to a constant value

     

    For more info about operators in filter query, please go to the link: OData comparison operator reference - Azure Cognitive Search | Microsoft Docs

     

    The step is for your reference:

    I added the "Lower" function to the source list column, "Email" in Power Apps to be able to make the proper comparison and used the toLower function on the look up list.
