All,

 

 

I'm attempting to issue a WHERE clause on reading an Excel file... but the source worksheet has column names that include spaces. So I can get this to work:

 

 

Test_me = 'Dave'

 

 

but this doesn't:

 

 

Test me = 'Dave'

 

 

and it returns a provider error:

 

 

Provider error `(-2147217900) Syntax error in GROUP BY clause.

 

 

I'm assuming its the space that is causing the issue, does anyone know of a work around, short of ensuring the source data has underscores instead?

 

 

Thanks
Ace thanks, I should have tried that really!
Just a hint that double quotes work wonders when using FME and programming in general. Spaces are an evil to programming.

 

 

Death to spaces!

Most of the "empty space" issues is solved in FME2019 it seems, so thats good @1spatialdave !
