Hello -

I've used the filter array action with success before but I'm just not able to figure out this one.

I want to filter to just store number 3 and its price records after the Select action.

This does not work.

Any suggestions?

Select action output screen shot and snippet of output text below ...

Use the expression item()['StoreNumber'] instead of just StoreNumber in your Filter Query. That should work.

Hello @bscarlavai33

Thank you for the reply post.

I tried your suggestion, and it didn't work. I tried a few variations with the ? in the expression and changing case of the storenumber string based on something that I see before the select action but still nothing works.

Below is what I attempted.

Any suggestion now?

Appreciate it!

Looks like StoreNumber is actually stored as a string. Try this:

int(item()?['StoreNumber'])

Hello!

@HJL and @bscarlavai33

Thank you both so much. This worked, int(item()?['StoreNumber']. Why did it work? Does it change the field I'm querying for into an integer?

Next, I need to figure out how to filter for specific prices for the store in the result below? Probably by dates equal to something or not equal to something.

Anyway ... have you noticed something wrong with notifications with this community site? I never got a notification of your reply post HJL nor do I get notifications to other people's posts that I subscribe to. Becoming less valuable.
