In case you are encountering the following error when running a query that includes a _‘complex’_ filter in Exact Online: _Could not execute the specified command: This $filter parameter is not supported for this resource. This error may be caused by the following: usage of OData functions such as ‘substringof(…)’, usage of the ‘not’ operator, syntax errors in the $filter parameter, the $filter parameter is too complex._ A straightforward solution to resolve this issue is to toggle the _‘UseBulkAPI’_ property to _‘False’_ in the Connection Editor (connection string), which is typically set to _‘True’_ by default.
