I am trying to get filtered data from an excel file in power automate online. I have tried but it is taking all the data which is present in the excel. I only want the filtered data but that is not happening. I have tried running scripts in excel but this is still not working.
@CU17020948-0 It's hard to offer any recommendations without seeing your full flow and the logic behind it. Toggle off the New Designer and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode.
Can you also provide more insights as to what isn't working? Is your flow failing? Is it not returning the data you are expecting?
The more information you can provide the easier it is to provide recommendations.
The Filter Query field in the List Rows Present in a Table action can only take a single argument. Also, your column headers (in Excel) should not include any spaces.
If you are trying to filter out by more than one column, you will need to use a Filter Array action. Not familiar with the Filter Array action? Take a look at these YT Tutorials:
