Filtering from a multiple selection choice column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I have a requirement where I need to filter a Get Items action from a choice column that allow multiple selections from a SharePoint list. I have seen other threads with relatively the same requirement but I can't tell if the solution is the same as they seem to all be for PowerApps objects.

 

Configuration: Choice column (with multiple selection enabled) called "Securities". Choices are BAM, BIP, BBU, BEP, BAMR (in that order)

 

I had originally set the filter query to "substringof('0', Securities)" - thinking that the first choice would have an actual value of "0" but It returned no results. I also tried "substringof('BAM', Securities)" - Which also returned no results. 

 

Is there a way I can use the filter query to only return items where the choice column contains "BAM" but does not include "BAMR", or am I just asking for to much?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you don't find the column, please add it as custom value.

    You can add more than 1 filter condition

     

    Please enable the experimental features following these steps:

    How do you add a custom item in the filter?
