I am having trouble using SharePoint Get Items, filter query = [SP item] eq 'Mother's Day' 

 

Please refer to the following for a real life sample.

After eq the content has ' in itAfter eq the content has ' in it

Thanks in advance

    Hi @davidwong ,

     

    You just need to replace single quote with double quotes as follows:

    Please take a try again.

    Thanks for the prompt response.  

     

    What you suggested will work, however the "mother's day" is embedded in an Excel cell.  The only way would be to manipulate the excel cell from "mother's day" to "mother''s day" is not desirable from the business point of view.

    Please point me to the right direction.

     

    Thanks again

    You do not need to "manipulate the excel cell".

    You have to modify the value of the cell before comparing, as you have been suggested.
