    Hi Anonymous ,

    I have searched the web for some possible solutions, and here is what I found:

    According to this article, the in clause is not supported by the SharePoint REST API, which is what you are using to get the data from the SharePoint site. The article suggests using the or operator instead, like this:

    #“$filter” = “PL_ID eq ‘2308-08162’ or PL_ID eq ‘2308-08161’”

    Alternatively, you can use Power Query parameters to filter the data based on a list of values, as explained in this article. You can create a parameter query that contains the values you want to filter by, and then use it in your main query. For example, you can create a parameter query called PL_ID_List with the following code:

    PL_ID_List = {“2308-08162”,“2308-08161”}

    Then, in your main query, you can use this parameter to filter the data, like this:

    #“$filter” = “PL_ID eq '” & Text.Combine(PL_ID_List,“’ or PL_ID eq '”) & “'”

    This will produce the same filter as the previous option, but with more flexibility and readability.
