Hello

I have a problem with the Filterquery Excel. When i fill in the name of the table "lopend contract" is equal to lopend. It says "Syntax error at position 20 in 'Lopend contract' eq'Lopend''.
inner exception: Syntax error at position 20 in 'Lopend contract' eq'Lopend''.
clientRequestId: 7a3faffc-0032-4fb4-9e27-f9c7b7425288"

Can someone help me please?

Hi @BartVdb1988

Filter query wouldn't work when there is a space in column name. To fix it, either remove space in column name or use filter array action to perform filter operation.

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Re: Filterquery Excel won't work

Hello ManishSolanki,

The filter is from a Query in Excel. Do you think when i rename the column to Lopendcontract it will works?

Re: Filterquery Excel won't work

Yes, after removing space in column name, pls try the below filter query:

Lopendcontract eq 'Lopend'

There should be blank or white space before & after eq operator.

Re: Filterquery Excel won't work

@ManishSolanki

It works with what you said for the tabel/query "Opheffingsbrief Q"

Now i have another problem with dates in the column name Coachview_D1 & Coachview_D2.
When i puth this as format
formatDateTime(item()?['Coachview_D1'],'dd/MM/yyyy') in "selecting" - it won't work.

In the empty cells normally i typ the formatformule like in "Opheffing Q" where it works. Here it won't work...
