Invalid Argument Type in Filter function on a Common Data Model entity

[tobystatham]

I have the following Filter function Filter(Request, 'Site Type'.SiteTypeId=SiteTypeGallery.Selected.SiteTypeId, 'Request Status'="New Request")

On both the equal operators there a red squiggly line that says "Invalid Argument Type"

SiteTypeId is a number sequence field and 'Request Status' is a text field.

In PowerApps, the '=' operator can only compare primitive values: text, booleans, numbers, date/time values, etc. Please make sure that the values being compared in this case for each row are, in fact, primitive. That not being the case is the most likely reason you are seeing this error.

Thanks, it was partly user error  I had two columns with similar names. Using the other one works.

Just to let you know that you can use the Number Sequence field for this type of situtation and it works

Great, glad to hear that.
