Excel Filter Query

[Barber_Chris]

Hi

Im wondering if someone can help me with the following flow. 

I have a table that i need to filer based on the month paid for example "Sep-19". 

The table looks like this and im trying to filter colum H:H.

My flow looks like this using expression

formatDateTime(body('Get_Last_Month_Date_Format_For_File_Creation'),'MMM-yy')

:-

But i seem to be getting the following error. 

{

"status": 400,

"message": "Syntax error at position 2 in 'H:H eq 'Sep-19''.\r\n inner exception: Syntax error at position 2 in 'H:H eq 'Sep-19''.\r\nclientRequestId: 47a3dc3a-61e7-4136-bc16-e4e2f0754e97",

"source": "excelonline-uks.logic-ase-uksouth.p.azurewebsites.net"

}

Im wondering

Hi @Barber_Chris 

In the filter query, you can type

Paid_x0020_Month eq 'expression' and check if it works. if not, try: 

PaidMonth eq 'expression'.

Hi @Barber_Chris ,

Please take a try with "Filter array" action instead of using the "Filter Query" field in the action.

@equals(item()?['Paid Month'], '43727')

@equals(formatDateTime(addDays('1900-01-01T00:00:00Z', sub(int(item()?['Paid Month']), 2)), 'yyyy-MM'), '2019-09')

And the DateTime Sep-19 in flow would be string 43727, you could refer to link below for learning more details and solutions:
