Filter Criteria with where condition in graph api query

Question

Hi
Filter criteria in  graph api is  working fine  through this api
https://graph.windows.net/adummydirectory.onmicrosoft.com/users?$filter=displayName eq 'Ashok'&api-version=1.5
Select criteria is also working fine through this api
https://graph.windows.net/ adummydirectory.onmicrosoft.com/users?api-version=1.5&deltaLink=&$select=displayName,accountEnabled
But when I am combining both query that means, I want that select criteria should also apply with filter clause like
https://graph.windows.net/adummydirectory.onmicrosoft.com/users?$filter=displayName
eq 'Ashok'&api-version=1.5&deltaLink=&$select=displayName,accountEnabled
But its generating error
    "odata.error": {
        "code": "Request_UnsupportedQuery",
        "message": {
            "lang": "en",
            "value": "Unsupported expression node type 'Equal' for Where expression."
So please suggest how we can use select clause with filter criteria. our requirement is that we don’t need all attributes .we want selected attributes for filtered users.

Greetings!
The differential query syntax does not allow for a filter other than $filter=isof(<directory entry type>).  You are not able to use any other query string for this type of query.  Please see the following MSDN link for details:

I will need to do a bit more research to see if it is possible to request specific attributes for an object query and post back to this thread when I have a response.
