Filter Query says my column does not exist

Posted on 18 Nov 2019 03:10:00 by 9

Please help. I have tried multiple iterations to get my Sharepoint list data to filter when creating a flow and I have come up empty. I need two filters actually, but I'll request help with one at a time.

 

Issue #1. I keep getting the following error message, except I am the only user.

Column 'Test_Site' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

clientRequestId: c339ee21-39b2-4a68-bc79-f490a8d3e59e
serviceRequestId: c339ee21-39b2-4a68-bc79-f490a8d3e59e

 

Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you!Capture.PNG

    Re: Filter Query says my column does not exist

    I followed your instructions (very helpful, by the way) and get the following:

    Field=_EndDate

    I have use all variations (i.e., "_EndDate" "$_EndDate" "EndDate" "_End_Date" etc.) but I continue to receive trigger errors that the column does not exist. Any ideas?

    @leyburn19 's response did the trick for me.

    My problem was that I created my List from an Excel table. My columns had simple names and types. It made me go crazy how everything seemed to be correct. Except for this one detail. Once I saw the field name in the URL, the sucker was called "field_2".

    Re: Filter Query says my column does not exist

    I was wondering why this happens... how can I effectively change the name of a column to avoid this trap?

    Re: Filter Query says my column does not exist

    Can you go to your SP list in List setting and select the Column as though you are going to edit it.  Then in the URL in the browser look at the name name at the end (see below example)  Whatever is there is what you should be looking for.  If there is a number in the  field name,  it sometimes gets a weird reference

    Re: Filter Query says my column does not exist

    I have a list with LastName Column.

    However it looks like the characters added are 

        _x0020_LastName

    When I tired to place that into my Filter Query box it still gives me the error "Column 'LastName' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user."

     

    I tired with LastName and _x0020_LastName as the name of the column.

    Any Suggestion.

    Re: Filter Query says my column does not exist

    Your query might need to be Title eq "B28297" not Title eq 'B28297'
