problem with flow expression

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have made a flow and have doen a filterquery for "getting items":

 

Datum Broodje? equals 'fx utcNow(..)

with utcNow in d-M-yyyy because the date in my SharePoint List is called Datum Broodje? and looks like 6-5-2019 (so d-M-yyyy).

 

But is does not work?

See below (is in Dutch, sorry)

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Change your Filter Query to: 

    Datum Broodje? eq 'utcNow(..)'

    Also, check the internal name of your Datum Broodje? column. If it has spaces, set the Filter Query to:

    Datum_x0020_Broodje? eq 'utcNow(..)'

    Please test it and let us know.

    it still does not work 😞
    the error message is:
     
    "status": 400,
    "message": "De expressie Datum_x0020_Broodje? eq ' 7-5-2019' is niet geldig.\r\nclientRequestId: aa3dada4-9e24-4a1a-90b0-9f27d49d4587\r\nserviceRequestId: c942da9e-e092-0000-64bd-b40245fdd2af"
     
    Couls the reason be the space between ' 7 ? But I wrote utcNow('d-M-yyyy') so without space.
    Maybe I should change the date in the table? How do I do that (so that I do not only change the visual)
