I'm really stumped on this one guys. I've done dozens of google searches and poured through the forums here but somehow I have come up short. It seems like a really simple task. Just filter an array from the results on an excel connector output but I have not been able to make it happen.
My flow goes like this. PVA gets input from user. PVA calls an action and passes user input into the flow. The flow gets the user's manager and list rows present in a table where users manager matches managers from the excel spreadsheet using oData filter. The flow then tries to filter the output of the excel functions value to only the items where user input (matching column) equals "4". This is where it all breaks down. I'm getting input in the filter array function that clearly shows the user's input (PACOM) has a value of "4" but the output from filter array is empty. I've tried setting the 4 as a string, an int, a float. Nothing seems to matter. I'm completely stuck on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIAshows valid input where "PACOM" has value "4"
shows valid input where user input Equip_Type equals PACOM
true value 4 attempt
4 as string attempt
Ok, I do feel rather silly now. I have found my mistake. On the filter array function you cannot simply name the key that you are looking to compare values on you must wrap it in the item expression in order to get the function to recognize that what your looking for is an item within the array. So simple and now I feel so stupid for missing that! Here's the expression that worked:

Thanks to everyone who gave this a look!
