Hello @arthcras 

Do the list you are getting items from has a lookup column for the Taxonomy?

If yes, then you should use something like this "Taxonomy/Value" or "Taxonomy/Title" in your filter query.

If not, please provide more information about the list and the column definition.

Kind regards, John

Yes indeed with as said a

Manual trigger of flow

with 3 different input fields (Taxonomy, Country and Year,  all based on "drop-down list of options.

Get Items from a sharepoint list in which a filter query for all the 3 input fields. I'am able to select for example 1 input field based on the following Taxonomy eq 'Taxonomy X', but got error message if add the 2 other fields

Hello @arthcras 

I didn't see that at first - is you filter query as you specified?

Taxonomy eq' Taxonomy x' Office eq' Office x 'Year eq ' Year"

It should be

Taxonomy eq 'Taxonomy x' and Office eq 'Office x' and Year eq 'Year'

If the Year column in the list is a number, then Year without quotes 🙂

Kind regards, John

Otherwise @arthcras

Hi John, the office and taxonomy works fine, but still have an issue with year

Year eq Year x is not working provides that either the query is not valid and in case putting between quotes provides info that colomn year does not exist and that it may have been deleted by another user

Any suggestions

Hello @arthcras 

Please check that your list does have a column which real name is Year! A SharePoint list column has two names, the display name, that you see, and the real name (or internal name) that is used for the Filter Query.

Try this - add a Compose action after your Get items action or use an existing action that you have.

Add the Year column to the action - then hover your mouse cursor over the newly added column and see the real name in the popup text. If that differs from Year, then use the name you see in the popup text.

Kind regards, John

It solved the issue with the year, as the name what not correct of the field

Thanks and best rgds
