Filter Document Library with spaces and special characters

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hello,

I'm trying to filter a Sharepoint Document Library using the filter function and the 'Folder path' property, the problem is the name is "Notas de Crédito" which has both an é and spaces.

 

I've read that you can filter with spaces if you substitute it with "%20" but what about the "é"?

 

Thanks.

    Hi, it somehow started working with spaces and without the character, I used a formula that I tried yesterday:

    Filter('NOTAS DE CRÉDITO','Folder path'="NOTAS DE CRDITO/")

    I'm not sure what was causing it not to appear yesterday.

     

    The problem now is with this formula I can only see the first two folders for some reason, instead of the 8 folders I have on that one.

    Thank you Warren. Unfortunately it's still showing no results.

    Hi @CarlosCalleja ,

    Try this

    With(
     {wPath:"NOTAS DE CRèDITO/TA HN/"},
     Filter(
     'NOTAS DE CRÉDITO',
     'Folder path'=wPath
     )
    )

    It's still not working.

    But I don't think it is an issue with the é, because I tried filtering another folder using "%20" instead of spaces and it also does not work.

    Thanks for the quick response. I tried this but unfortunately it's not working. 

     

    The formula I used on the gallery is Filter('NOTAS DE CRÉDITO','Folder path'="NOTAS%20DE%20CR%138DITO/TA%20HN/")
