Unable to perform oData filter on sharepoint list Person/user column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I am having issue in running odata filter when filter is on sharepoint list which has person/user column.

 

I need to generate report that will dynamically identify reviewers for any weekly updated submitted by employee. I have 2 list Employee List and Weekly update, while Reviewer can be anyone from employee list. I need to create flow that will run on both but 2nd list will have to be filtered on 1st list person/user column. 

 

Below is structure

List 1: EmployeeList

Columns: Title (text), "Employee Name" (Person/User),....

 

List 2: WeeklyUpdates

Columns: "Employee Name" (Person/User), "Updates CurrentWeek" (text), "Reviewer Name" (Person/User)

 

Filter has to happen on "Review Name" in List 2 comparing with "Employee Name" in List 1.

 

I tried 

Reviewer_x0020_Name/Email eq ....

Reviewer_x0020_Name#Email eq ....

Reviewer_x0020_Name eq ....

 

But none has worked.

 

Can someone help me on how to handle odata filter on person/user column.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Please try to replace Email with EMail and you need to make sure that Reviewer_x0020_Name is correct.

    You can do not configure Filter Query first, then execute Get items action and see if the field name is correct.

    Finally, you need to add single quotes outside the parameters to the right of eq.

    Please try again.

    Using Reviewer_x0020_Name/EMail I get below message
