Hi Experts,

 

Is there a way to select ABc_ERR_Feb_*.xlxs  where * is the wild card as a file name in the folder?

    Hi AcerNZ,

    Yo could put wild card like '*' in query while why don't you use Power Automate filter condition like 'contains' or 'start with' which would be more easier and share the same with your wild card file types?

    Similar requests from customer end to replace wildcard with condition for your reference:
