Filter Array Limitations?

Posted on by 15

I've created a similar array to this:

 

 

 

[
 {
 "AnchorTag": "123-456789",
 "Vendor": 38
 },
 {
 "AnchorTag": "234-567890",
 "Vendor": 28
 },
 {
 "AnchorTag": "345-678901",
 "Vendor": 43
 },
 {
 "AnchorTag": "456-789012",
 "Vendor": 43
 }
]

 

I've been trying to use Filter Array to return a result when, AnchorTag equals value (such as 345-678901).

It never returns a value.

 

Is there a special syntax for what I'm trying to do?  Or perhaps what I'm trying to do is impossible with the Filter Array function?

    Hey @leungly875 

    It worked for me.

    I added your data in the compose and then used a filter action.

    item()['AnchorTag']

    Output:

    Sundeep_Malik_1-1663695248586.png

     

    If the above doesnt works for you can you add screenshot of how your flow looks like in edit mode?

    Can you show us the Filter array logic you are using?  Also, be aware that what you will get is an array.  It may contain only one record but it will still be an array.

    Thanks for replying.

     

    It was a typo on my part.
