    I think you should add one more <And> before <IsNull><FieldRef Name='ReplacementUserID'/> or add closing </And> after that condition (as per your requirements/conditions). You are doing it wrong here.

  • Hi @GaneshSanap, when i try that i get the following error - One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields. The query was working fine before i added the 4th(last) <and></and> tag, ie. for date comparision.

    <And> element can have only two child elements (two conditions). so, you have to change the query accordingly

  • The query contains one and max two child elements inside <and> tag.

<And> element can have only two child elements (two conditions). Your query should be in below format:

<View>
    <Query>
        <Where>
            <And>
                <Eq><FieldRef Name='Company' /><Value Type='Text'>CompanyName</Value></Eq>
                <And>
                    <Eq><FieldRef Name='License' /><Value Type='Text'>License</Value></Eq>
                    <And>
                        <Eq><FieldRef Name='Active' /><Value Type='Boolean'>0</Value></Eq>
                        <And>
                            <IsNull><FieldRef Name='ReplacementUserID'/></IsNull >
                            <Geq><FieldRef Name='LicenseExpiryDate'/><Value IncludeTimeValue='FALSE' Type='DateTime'><Now /></Value></Geq>
                        </And>
                    </And>
                </And>
            </And>
        </Where>
    </Query>
    <RowLimit>100</RowLimit>
</View>

Add variables, + and " accordingly.

Change your caml query to the following, check if it works for you:

<Query>
    <Where>
        <And>
            <And>
                <And>
                    <Eq><FieldRef Name='Company' /><Value Type='Text'>" + CompanyName + "</Value></Eq>
                    <Eq><FieldRef Name='License' /><Value Type='Text'>" + License + "</Value></Eq>" +
                "</And>
                <Eq><FieldRef Name='Active' /><Value Type='Boolean'>0</Value></Eq> <IsNull><FieldRef Name='ReplacementUserID'/></IsNull >" +
            "</And>
            <Geq><FieldRef Name='LicenseExpiryDate'/><Value IncludeTimeValue='FALSE' Type='DateTime'><Now /></Value></Geq>" +
        "</And>             
    </Where>
</Query>

  • Hi @Michael Han_MSFT, The above query returns all data from the list without applying the conditions. Not sure why.
