Help using variable in odata filter

Help Studio
#1

Hi,

I am trying to filter SharePoint for each list item by a variable determined in a previous sequence but it does not seem to work.

I have scoped the variable to the highest level it can be but it still does not work.

Is it even possible to use a variable as a filter?

Thanks in advance

Hey @Blair_Forbes

I hope you are talking about this variable v_str_ItemID I don’t see any error on that.

If the scope is lesser or limited it will throw a compile error before you run.

May be the issue is with the variable value you are trying to pass which may not be with proper OData filter syntax.

we would recommend follwoing:

  • check manually the Endpoint URL with hardcoded variable value
  • share the details of what you have done as we cannot see it from the screenshots e.g. the filter part

Hi,

Yes that is the variable I am using to filter. When I assigned the variable it did not set a value for some reason.

In the assign it is currently v_dict_ListFields("ItemID").ToString. ListFields being the parent dictionary.

But in the variables panel there is no value in the default value section.

Hey @Blair_Forbes

You need to assign the filter variable value before For-Each please

And it should have a proper string representing the OData filter condition

Hi,

I assigned the variable before the For Each but now there is an “For Each Item in List: Code: Item not found” error. Like the variable isn’t found, but I’ve just defined it…
