Hi everyone!
I need to filter a datatable if the column “result” cointains the string “ok”.
How can i do?
Thank you
I update all my packeges but I dont’t have this activity 
Is it possible by select method?
It should be under Data Table heading in the activities column!!
That’s a bit weird.There should be like 10 more activities there!
Anyways, you can do it with select too…but still you’ll require Add Data Column activity which i again don’t see there!
Try reinstalling the UiPath.Database.Activities package…It’ll be difficult to work without those activities!
Should look like this!
I have Add Data Column Activity. How can I use this to filter data table?
Hello @Siltra,
Please refer to the workflow i created for you 
So what we can do is use select to get the data rows that have result column value ‘ok’
Select returns an array of data rows.
Then we can build a new datatable and through foreach and add data row add the filtered rows in the new data table!Main.xaml (11.3 KB)
Thank you very much for your helping, but the I need rows where column result CONTAINS the string ok, so I can’t use equals operation.
Because you need a contains and not an equal to, I would build a second datatable and loop through the first. Each time it comes across a value containing “OK”, add that row to the second datatable.
So is not possible to do it without a loop only using the select method? I just to count the number of rows, so I don’t need to build the data table after this operation.
Hi @Siltra, the filter data table options are available in version 2018.2.0. May be try to install the latest version. It might work. .!!
Thanks…!!
Hey @Siltra,
You can try using dt.Select(" result=‘* ok *’ " )
it will get you the rows having
sometext(space)ok(space)sometext
@Siltra
I tried using dt.Select(“result LIKE ‘%ok%’”)
Works just fine!
HI,
I am trying to filter a data table using .Select() but i want to use the column index rather than the column name; how do i go about it
Try below code to filter using column index
dataTable.Select("[" + dataTable.Columns[ColumnIndex].ColumnName + "] = 1")

Thanks @arivu96 …
But i meant my column does not have a name. The only reference i have are the Column letters on the worksheet or the index.
for instance data.Select("[Status]= 'PV'"). this code selects all the rows who’s status column is PV.
I need a code that uses the column index instead of the column name
Thank you.
Try below code
(from dr in DT1 where dr.item(1).contains ("PV") select dr).ToArray().CopyToDataTable()

Hello!
Can I simply use a filter data table activity to filter a data table for result coloumn which contains “success” Currently this filter is not able to filter the table.
can I use the operator contains? sharing the screenshot.
