ODATA “contains” for Get Items SharePoint list

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 212
Hello everyone,
 
I have a SharePoint list. Among other things, there is a column “Item number” (TITLE) as a text field. It can happen that this cell contains either only one number (e.g. 6862072) or two or more (e.g. 6862072, 6862056, 6862064).
I would then like to get all items in a flow that have “111111”, for example, even if there are other numbers in the cell. How does this work?
 
I have already tried it with “substringof(‘ITEMNUMBER’, Title). But I get nothing as an output value even if the number is in the SharePoint list. 
In my example (see screenshot below) I want both items to be found.
 
Thanks for your help in advance
 
Best regards
Patrick

    It should be possible to use substringOf function for this. Have you tried a hard coded value as a test first with the substringOf function?
     
    Maybe the issue is related to your forms question value which you used in the filter?
     
    Below is my test setup.

    The substringOf function
    substringof('6862072',Title)
     
     
     
    The output in a HTML table
