Filter query not returning not started tasks

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

In one of the flows, under get items I am using below filter query.

I want to fetch non completed tasks from a SP task list and along with that I have used below conditions as OR:

1. Duedate eq addDays(utcNow(),0,'yyyy-MM-dd') or

2. DueDate eq addDays(utcNow(),-1,'yyyy-MM-dd') or

3. DueDate eq addDays(utcNow(),-2,'yyyy-MM-dd') or

4. DueDate eq addDays(utcNow(),-3,'yyyy-MM-dd') or

 

For some reason its fetching not started and completed tasks, task status has only two options: Not started, completed. Am I using the filter query wrong? can someone help? I want to only fetch non started tasks along with date filters I listed above as OR.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Could you please explain more details about the Status column in your list? Is it a choice type column?

    If the Status column is a choice type column, you couldn't filter the items in the Filter Query field in the Get items action, you need to add a Filter Array action under the Get items action for filter the items that Not started as screenshot below:

    Also please make sure to choose the Status Value dynamic content instead of the Status dynamic content in the Filter Array action.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
