I'm trying to limit the workload while Listing Rows in an Excel using ODATA filtering.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to limit the workload while Listing Rows in an Excel using ODATA filtering.  I'm struggling with the "NOT" in the regex and hope someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong here?  I have tried:

 

  • ^(Field_1 eq 'Happy')
  • Field_1 ^eq 'Happy'
  • Field_1 eq ^'Happy'

Thanks for your help!

    You can't use regex in a Filter query in Power Automate. Where you just trying to filter where Field_1 is not equal to 'Happy'? If so you can just use Field_1 ne 'Happy'

    Thank you!  What are the keywords I should use to Google for the documentation?

    The link below has some good info on what you can use to filter for SharePoint. Most of it would also apply to Excel, except you can only have a single query for Excel (can't combine filters with and/or, etc.).
