Flow Failing on Get items - Column Doesn't Exist

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 84

We are creating a flow that will look at column data in a SP list and send a reminder email if the date is less than or equal to.  The problem is we are getting a "column doesn't exist" error except when it looks up the Modified column.  I don't think we are using the correct syntax (like using " or ') when telling it the column.  What is the correct syntax we need in the Filter Query field?

 

Here is the flow:

Here is the column from SP:

flow-email-test-sp-cl.png

Here is the error:

flow-email-test-sp-error.png

 

Thanks for the help!

    This recommendation is correct. I had the same issue has the above question. Checking my run history revealed that my column was named differently. I think it was caused by the fact that I had added a space in my column name and it added "filler text" to ensure the actual column name property is a single string.

    Hi @dgillespie,

     

    I have made a test on my side and don’t have the issue that you mentioned. Besides, I think it is not necessary to add a “Compose” action to calculate the current time. Please take a try with the following workaround:20.JPG

    The flow works successfully as below:18.JPG

     

     

    Please check if you have selected proper Site Address and List Name in “Get Items” action.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hi!

    I would recommend you to verify your flow "Run history", select any of the flow executions and inspect the outputs from "Get items" action block.

    Sometimes the internal name for a SP column does not match with the one you can see in the SP config page

    Hope it helps
