Posted on by SophieChuang 9

Hi everyone,

 

I would like to filter the excel column with 3 values, but when I use "Conditional" type as "Contains" and input the value,

I only can list up to 2 condition rows, the button of "Add new row" in the left bottom can't click anymore,

is there any limitation in this function? thanks!

    Hi @SophieChuang ,

     

    Yes as per now ,In Power Automate Desktop, the “Filter cells in Excel worksheet” action does have some limitations. When the “Advanced” option is turned off, only the “equal to (=)” condition is available.

     

    When you turn off the Advanced option you can use multiple filter condtion but only equal is avilable.

     

    However, with the “Advanced” option turned on,Filters are limited for only 2 filters condtions. 


    (Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)


    Thanks & Regards

    Vishnu Reddy
