Really surprised why this video does not easily show up is queries. This is just awesome. You have touched upon the topics that really needs to be explained. The nuances of OData Filter Query has been explained very well by you. Your tone an pace is exactly what is needed to explain something that is complex. God bless you Reza. Keep doing the great work.

[@mellemelmo]

Wow. Trying to initalize a variable on a new list item to get the date, but the new date showed up in yyyy-MM-dd and PA pulled in the filter query for an existing list as MM-dd-yyyy, so the dates never matched. I knew that was it, but this video showed me how to add the formatDateTime function around my variable... and it's working! Thank you so much! There's just so much to learn in every step.

before asking question, i know i should applaud you. Tell me one area where you are not good at.. May be i can focus there lol :). You are truly a master. Instead of writing OData queries can i set up a view and query against the result set? In which cases is it better to go for list view vs OData query?

[@RezaDorrani]

SharePoint views are only to restrict the columns returned. It does not actually perform the query in that view. So OData is a must.

[@RezaDorrani]

Use sort descending by Created date

[@smaug3045]

Hi Reza, is there a way in the Filter Query when using multiselect choice columns instead of hardcoding in the values, I can dynamically add them, so for example instead of searching on 'English', 'Geography' I can use the value filtered on my Combo box that I have filtered using multiselect. So in this example I would substitute 'English Geography' with cboSubjects, so it is dynamic and taken from the PowerApp. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@RezaDorrani]

It is possible. It will require you to construct your query as a variable and then add it to filter query property. I don’t have a video reference on this though. You can give it a try and in case of issues you can leverage the forums for help powerusers.microsoft.com
