Error Get Items Filter Query OData Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TesDA 611

I'm having trouble getting the filter right in the OData filter query: 

 

The column name in the Sharepoint list is

Opp Status (Win Loss)

 

This is what I am looking for:

Opp Status (Win Loss) eq 'Open'

 

I've tried: 

Opp_x0020_Status_x0020_(Win_x0020_Loss)

OppStatus(WinLoss)

'Opp Status (Win Loss)' eq 'Open'

 

both come back with the below error:

The query is not valid.

    Hi @TesDA 

    According to your description, an error occurred when you used the filter query in Get items

    Every column in SharePoint has 2 names, internal name assigned by SharePoint and display name defined by you. 

    When filter query, need to use internal name.

    This is my list

    About how to find it internal name, you can refer to the screenshots as below:

    1、Select Settings ,and then select list settings.

    v-LilyW-msft_3-1622169307373.png

    3、Then can find the internal name is ‘OppStatus_x0028_WinLoss_x0029_’ of Opp Status (Win Loss)

    v-LilyW-msft_4-1622169307377.png

    Then please fill filter query as below and test it again.

    OppStatus_x0028_WinLoss_x0029_ eq 'Open'
