comparing Decimal(9,3) column value in Linq - asp.net-mvc

I have a column pointsAwarded decimal(9,3) and I have the following LInq
db.TableName.Select(x=>x.pointsAwarded >0)
The fact is that it is not filtering the data and returning me the whole result set.
How to compare it?
I tried with x.pointsAwarded.value>0 and x.pointsAwarded.value>0.000 and
x.pointsAwarded > (Decimal?)0
but with no luck.
Pls help

Try using a Where instead of a Select
db.TableName.Where(x=>x.pointsAwarded > 0)
UPDATE:
This answer has been given more credit than it previously deserved, so I will elaburete a little
The Where statement acts as the filter. It determins whitch elements the returned list should contain.
The Select statement is the projection of the elements. Given a list of elements, how would you like them presented.

PowerAutomate : Get max columnvalue From dataverse table

I have a Dataverse table named my_sample_table.
Inside the table I have a column named my_sample_column of type integer whose max value should be returned. Am trying to achieve this by using the List rows action provided with PowerAutomate.
Is there a filter query that can be written on the Filter rows property ? similar to what we use with SQL : max(columnname)
Or any other queries that can be included in the List rows action which will return the same result.
I know that I can iterate through the column values to get the max value using an expresion or by sorting it and getting the topmost one. But I was wondering whether there are any direct approach to it.
I would try and use a max aggregate for this column in a Fetch Xml query:

SELECT statement with multiple conditions on TAGs

For considerably long period of time I’ve been struggling the following problem. This is an example of data stored in the DB:
> show series
flights,cycleId=1535,cycleIdx=0,engineId=2,flightId=1696,flightIdx=0,type=fil
flights,cycleId=1535,cycleIdx=0,engineId=2,flightId=1696,flightIdx=0,type=std
flights,cycleId=1535,cycleIdx=0,engineId=2,flightId=1696,flightIdx=0,type=raw
...
and my intention is to select a specific one by using a query like this:
SELECT * FROM flights WHERE type='fil' AND engineId= '2' AND flightId = '1696' AND flightIdx = '0' AND cycleId = '1535' AND cycleIdx = '0'
Such query, however, yields always zero results. Zilch.
Selecting the first (and only) tag works fine:
SELECT * FROM flights WHERE cycleId = '1535'
but using this condition on any other tag, like for example
SELECT * FROM flights WHERE type='fil'
does never return a single row. Querying only the first tag and nothing else works.
Could you please give me a hint what am I doing wrong? From all I have found people are always selecting just by a single tag but never more. What is the part that I cannot see?
Many thanks for any ideas!
I believe I have discovered the reason: two keys from the tags made by mistake their way into the fields. I spotted the trouble when listing the tag and fields keys as
show tag keys
show field keys
Deleting all records does not remove the keys from these lists and the problem persists. One need to drop the entire database to restore the order of things.

Power Query - Merged Query Returning Incorrect Result

I have 2 tables that are merged on multiple fields, when I preview the result, it is correct (Rank = 712) as can be seen from this image:
However when I expand the resultant table, an incorrect value (Rank = 1) appears:
Has anyone ever seen something like this before?
If you sorted Ranking table,find step:"Sorted Rows",and add Table.Buffer outside Table.Sort,like Table.Buffer(Table.Sort()),then it will be correct.

multiple line where clauses

I've got a search page with multiple inputs (text fields). These inputs may or may not be empty - depending on what the user is searching for.
In order to accommodate this I create a base searchQuery object that pulls in all the correct relationships, and then for each non-empty input I modify the query using the searchQuery.Where function.
If I place multiple conditions in the WHERE clause I get the following error:
Cannot compare elements of type 'System.Collections.Generic.ICollection`1'. Only primitive types, enumeration types and entity types are supported.
searchQuery = searchQuery.Where(Function(m) (
(absoluteMinimumDate < m.ClassDates.OrderBy(Function(d) d.Value).FirstOrDefault.Value) _
OrElse (Nothing Is m.ClassDates)
)
)
I know that code looks funky, but I was trying to format it so you didn't have to scroll horizontally to see it all
Now, if I remove the ORELSE clause, everything works (but of course I don't get the results I need).
searchQuery = searchQuery.Where(Function(m) (
(absoluteMinimumDate < m.ClassDates.OrderBy(Function(d) d.Value).FirstOrDefault.Value)
)
)
This one works fine
So, what am I doing wrong? How can I make a multi-condition where clause?
Multiple conditions in the Where isn't the problem. m.ClassDates Is Nothing will never be true and doesn't make sense in SQL terms. You can't translate "is the set of ClassDates associated with this record NULL?" into SQL. What you mean is, are there 0 of them.
If there are no attached ClassDate records, m.ClassDates will be an empty list. You want m.ClassDates.Count = 0 OrElse...

Fusion tables query does not fetch some

I'm having an issue on this table: 1g_ydg74ooUSBzNfQBHOIdgrOKhxZD_92In8xTDg
I'm trying to fetch some results by CODE_DEPT. I used the filter
CODE_DEPT IN ('001', '002', '003', '02A', '02B')
and only the 3 first are fetched.
Any idea what's going on ?
Cheers
Looks like CODE_DEPT is identified as a numeric column. The last two codes are not numeric and so would not match anything. If you change the column to type Text and you should be OK.
