filter outputs expression

Hi, 

 

I have two SP lists ( A, B) 

list B contain a column name (Doc_ID) , It should be a reference for A list ID column 

 

A >>> ID, Title, Name, ... 

B >>> ID, Title, Doc_ID, Name, ... 

 

I have a flow with multiple steps, one them with name (Get Items for list B)

the next step is Compose with

 

outputs('Get_Items_For_list_B')

 

to give me all details, But I need to filter the outputs by a specific ID

 

I need help about the code please!

Hi @ElMeSaFeR ,

 

If you want to filter items with equal values of ID and DocID, I am afraid the best option is to use Filter array. At present, we cannot directly use expression in Compose to filter an array. There is no function can achieve this.

 

I noticed that the value of DocID is a string, then you also need to use int() function to convert this value.

Hope this helps.

Hi @ElMeSaFeR 

 

If you looking to filter the List B by specific ID then use the filter query to extract the values.

If your ID is numeric column then you don't need to use the single quotes around it.

 

ID eq 10

 

Thanks
