    Hi @chobo_power0901 ,

     

    Do you want to get the even values in a column in Excel? Please try this:

    vmengmlimsft_1-1694582722319.png

     

    If you want to filter the records with even numbers in a column, please try this:

    The easiest way to do it would be reading the data from Excel via a SQL query. You can then set the filters in the query. See here for more reference on how to do it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/how-to/sql-queries-excel

     

    Otherwise, you would need to process your table via C#/Python or similar scripts, or create a new table, loop through the Excel data and insert even numbers into the new table. Either way it is less efficient than running a SQL query to Excel.

    thank you

    I'm trying to find an even value with a sql statement, but it says it's a grammar error.

    where [num] % 2 = 0

    Could you please check?

    WHERE [NUM]  MOD 2 = 0

    Can you please share the entire SQL statement, if you are still having a problem?

    SELECT [NUM]
    FROM [%str_sheetName_Num%$]
    WHERE [NUM] MOD 2 = 0
    ;

    MOD is a MySQL function. In this case you do actually need to use the % operator. But PAD reserves % as the character for variable notation. So, you need to escape it. The correct way to escape % is to use %%. So, try this:

    SELECT [NUM]
    FROM [%str_sheetName_Num%$]
    WHERE [NUM] %% 2 = 0
