/ in filter query failing

[Lefty]

Hi,

I have a half working flow. I have a parallel branch in which 1 condition works fine as the filter query I am using for one, isn't referring any SP columns with special characters.

The other query is trying to locate all date items under Supervisor/DirectorDate column, and it appears this is failing:

(Supervisor/DirectorDateReceived lt '@{body('Substring_5')}') and (Status eq 'submitted') 

How do I fix the syntax please?

I get the following error:

Column 'Supervisor' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

@Lefty the / in the column name is most likely to be the problem. Go to the list settings, edit the column and look at the end of the address bar where the Field= which gives you the internal column name. It will be something like Supervisor_x002f_Director.... and THAT is what you need you to use in your filter query.

(Just as a personal preference in case it helps, I never use special characters or spaces in column names which are going to be referenced in Power Automate or Power Apps, it just creates hassle)

I'd actually already tried that too prior to posting the question and I got the same error:

'Supervisor_x002f_DirectorDateReceived' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

You are right, I don't tend to either. This was one of the earlier apps I developed, in fact the first app I developed a couple or so years ago. I would always remove spaces from any SP fields, but of course didn't expect the / to cause me this much hassle back then, I don't use any specials characters in any of my other apps/flows
