Posted by In one of the recent projects, I needed to apply a filter on a lookup field in a document library.
Here is what I was trying to achieve.
I have a list of Technologies.
I have a library of Templates.
When I create a Project in the “Projects” list, I want Power Automate to create a folder in the SoW folder with the project name and add the template of the corresponding technology in the folder.
Note, that “Technology” is a lookup column in the “Documents” library and “Projects” list.
Essentially what I trying to do is to form the query:
Get me the file from the Documents library where Technology matches the Technology in the Project List
I started by adding the Get Files action with an Odata filter. It didn’t work.
I then realized that the field in the left hand side is actually an object and I was equating it to a string value.
How to solve this?
After doing some research I found the syntax to use for lookup column. Here is what worked!
Hope this helps!
