I'm working with the Excel List Rows Present In Table action. I was trying to select just certain columns using the Select Query advanced option. What is the syntax to use if my column has spaces? I've tried underscores, double/single quotes, _x0200, tick marks, square brackets. I know the best option is to have no spaces in the name but at this point I can't change that. Also, would it just be better to use a Filter Array and/or Select action instead of fiddling with this Select Query option? Thanks!

Hello @Anonymous,
As @efialttes had mentioned, it looks like this feature to use select query inside excel with a column with a space is not yet supported.
However, you can try and use the Select action. Here is my example:

Yeah, that was the first thing I did and it didn't work and that's why I started researching.
I get this error message for a column name Screening Date.
Hi @Anonymous
Could you share a picture of your flow?
I seen in your original post, you had mentioned you tried _x0200
Can you try:
_x0020_
Also as @efialttes had mentioned can you remove the filters, as well as the expand. Just do a List rows with no additional settings
Proud to be a Flownaut!
oops, I did mistype that in my original post, it was _x0020_ that I tried for a space. 🙂 And here are my results testing empty filters and also column names with only 1 word...
So here is a screenshot of the action I'm using:
And the output (I've only include the first record here) when I leave the filters empty looks like this:
{"body":{"value":[{"@odata.etag":"","ItemInternalId":"6d269a8b-a6eb-4c26-80d5-c2d530517d31","ID":"163","Start time":"43866.7106481481","Completion time":"43866.7122685185","Name":"Bonnie","Outside CLIA Slide Total":"","Screening Date":"43831","Non-Gyn Smears, Cell Blocks":"","Non-Gyn Thinprep, Surepath, Cytospin":"","Gyn Thinprep FOV Only":"","Gyn Thinprep FOV + Manual":"","Gyn Thinprep Manual Only":"","Gyn Surepath FOV Only":"","Gyn Surepath FOV + Manual":"","Gyn Surepath Manual Only":"","QC Screened":"","Proficiency Testing, Educational Slides, QA Slides":"","Screening Hours":"0","Outside Screening Hours":"","Total non-screening hours":"8","Brief description of non-screening activities":"New Year's Day","Did you screen at other labs today?":"No","Total UCL CLIA Slides":"0","Total UCL+Outside Scr Hours":"0","UCL Sl/Hr":"**No screening recorded for UCL today.","Total UCL+Outside CLIA Slides":"0","UCL+Outside Sl/Hr":"**No screening recorded today.","Total UCL Hours Worked":"8","slide rate over":"","duplicate scr date":"","slide count over":"","scr hours over":"","Column1":"2020-02-05","sup alert":"",
As an example, I have columns called Name, Column1, Screening Date. If I test entering one word column names separated by commas into the select query I get the correct output for those columns. But if I try to enter a column into it with 2 words like Screening Date I get a BadRequest error (see below.) So I've tried every way to format the name I can think to use it, the quotes and brackets etc. I just haven't stumbled upon the correct one for it yet.
So, when I select query for name,column1 I get this:
Proud to be a Flownaut!

This is a misleading thread, It should be only about COLUMNS.
"Select Query" parameter in "List rows present in a table" action allows us to specify which columns should be retrieved from the excel file. Here is a big confusion with the "Filter Query" that specifies the rows to be retrieved.
@Admin please correct and separate things here. All search engines are returning this post when I'm searching for columns selection syntax. Please provide syntax examples exactly for this parameter "Select Query" as it specified in documentation.
Typing the cvs list with column names like this Column1, Column2, 'Column 3', Column4 doesn't work.
