Filter Dataverse List Rows by date range

Posted on by CU04061849-0

Can anyone please see what I am doing wrong here? I get this error: Action 'List_rows' failed: Error reading JObject from JsonReader. Path '', line 0, position 0.

it works for this filter: sp_city eq 'milledgeville' and sp_coreprovinserteddt ne null

tried with and without single quotes, using logical name correctly

and here is the raw output:

{
    "host": {
        "connectionReferenceName": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
        "operationId": "ListRecords"
    },
    "parameters": {
        "entityName": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
        "$select": "sp_legalname, sp_coreprovinserteddt",
        "$filter": "sp_coreprovinserteddt gt '2026-04-15T20:01:27.0052954Z' and sp_coreprovinserteddt lt '2026-04-22T20:01:26.9622610Z'",
        "$top": 5000,
        "accept": "application/json;odata.metadata=minimal"
    }
}

thank you!

When you filter on a string like city name you put the value in single quotes. But when you filter on a date you just use the ISO 8601 format for the date without single quotes. Try the following filter instead of yours

sp_coreprovinserteddt gt 2026-04-15T20:01:27.0052954Z and sp_coreprovinserteddt lt 2026-04-22T20:01:26.9622610Z

The issue is caused by wrapping DateTime values in single quotes. In Dataverse OData filters, DateTime values must be unquoted. Removing the quotes will fix the error.

try like below :

sp_coreprovinserteddt gt 2026-04-15T20:01:27.0052954Z and sp_coreprovinserteddt lt 2026-04-22T20:01:26.9622610Z

or

sp_coreprovinserteddt gt @{formatDateTime(variables('startDate'),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')}

Thanks for the suggestions. Pstork1 11manish

both of these didn't work for me:
Here is no single quotes:

Hello @CU04061849-0,

You need to add the single quote in expression.

Example:

createdon ge '@{formatDateTime(addDays(utcNow(),-95),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')}' and createdon le '@{formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')}'

When filtering on dates in an OData filter you definitely don't want the single quotes. But the format of the date value being compared can be very finicky. I find that it is best to format the date and time being used as the standard ISO8601 format rather than a custom format. I tested this query in the list rows using the modifiedon date and it works as expected. As you can see there are no single quotes and the formatDateTime uses the default 'o' format for ISO8601.

Filter array is not working either. not sure if my syntax is correct. no error but not filtering..

Given the sp_ in front of the fields is it a virtual table from SharePoint? Or SQL or just a virtual table of some system in Dataverse?

I just created a virtual Dataverse table from one of my SharePoint lists. Filtering by date works without an issue. I would double check the column definition in the virtual table to verify that it is a Date column. Also check the actual data and make sure that your filters do what you expect them to.
