How to use MS FLow and ODATA to filter a document library on file name?
Erik,
Instead of using name as the filter, try FileLeafRef -
I was able to return all files from this library whose names start with the letter H.
Hope this helps.

Eliot,
Thank you for reaching out and I'm glad this solution has saved you time.
I reviewed the posts you referenced and cannot comment on those since I haven't taken the time to try to reproduce any errors that may arise.
What I can say with certainty is using the solution as accepted by Erik Wettergren has worked for me in many a SharePoint tenant.
Perhaps @v-yuazh-msft can elaborate on the benefits of their answer.
Regards,
Terry
Terry_McCullagh ... Nice one, and thanks for the response, I respect that you didn't have to say anything! 🙂
I think that the approach that I will take is belt and braces. I'll ensure that I've got a fully annotated (commented) 'Pure Flow Logic' available to the user in what I call 'The Worst Timeline' * so that if it fails, then whomever is managing it can switch to that.
Thanks again, mate! 🙂
* A community reference used to describe a testing branch that I put in most Flows these days via a condition that's always set to run the main line. It'll contain notes, working (how did we get this JSON sample?), and alternates or future parts of the flow, plus some nonsense. Since it's not exactly the easiest place to organise separate Flows (at least, for free users) this feels like the easiest way to ensure that knowledge is available.
- Hello I have a problem with filtering. I used condition attachmentname ends with .pdf but one of three folders still accepts and .png format files. How I can resolve this?
