This is driving me nuts. Sunday = 2022-09-25 and Saturday = 2022-10-01

Today is 2022-09-30, so this should return all three items in this picture:

Instead, I get nothing. I tried putting 'null' and got the same result.

{"body":{"value":[]}}

If I remove "ItemChosen" from the Filter, it returns the three values.

Re: Get items Where Cell is Blank

So I partially figured this out. Looking at the output JSON with and without the "ItemChosen". If the item doesn't have an "ItemChosen" specified, it's literally missing from the JSON. What madness is this?

Hi @IPC_ahaas ,

I assume the ItemChosen column is a Choice column.

Maybe you could try as below.

coalesce(item()?['ColumnName/Value'], 'blank')

@v-yujincui-msft it is not a Choice column, just text. Looks like that worked!

@JasonLane I'm not sure how that article helps. This is regarding values returned as null. In my case, if the value is null it's not returned at all.
