Passing Form Data as Filter Arguments to different Screen

Posted on by p0werSn3k

Hi All,

I have a BrowseScreen that pulls data from a Sharepoint list. I've added a filter icon on the BrowseScreen that navigates to FilterScreen. FilterScreen has a form with a textfield, 3 drop downs, and two date fields (Start & End date) and an ApplyBtn. The idea is to have the ApplyBtn pull the screen's form data and apply that as a filter to BrowseScreen.BrowseGallery. Placeholder code for FilterScreen.ApplyBtn OnSelect is below -

Navigate(BrowseScreen, Fade, {filter BrowseScreen.BrowseGallery here by form data})

BrowseScreen.BrowseGallery already has a search bar with a filter function for a few of the form's fields. I think I need to add a variable to the BrowseGallery and have the ApplyBtn pass an argument to that variable but I'm not sure how to do that in PowerApps while also keeping the filter function that BrowseGallery already has.

I'm very new to powerapps & primarily have a scripting/CLI background so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi @p0werSn3k ,

Build a collection with the browse screen results and pass that to the next screen in the form screen you can read through the collection and populate the data on the screen easily.

I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.

Krishna

Thanks for the tip KrishnaV. I now have the ApplyBtn collect the form data into FilterList & navigate back to BrowseScreen. The BrowseScreen.BrowseGallery currently has this function:
SortByColumns(Filter([@'Survey Answers'], StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox.Text)||StartsWith('Key Stakeholder', TextSearchBox.Text)), "Title", If(SortDescending1,Descending,Ascending))
How would I tie in the collection as a filter? For example, one of the fields in the collection is ITorBU : ITorBUDataCard.Selected.Value which pulls from a drop down. The SharePoint column name is 'IT or Business Project'

Hi @p0werSn3k,

Try this:
SortByColumns(Search(searchtextbox.Text,Filter([@'Survey Answers'], StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox.Text)||StartsWith('Key Stakeholder', TextSearchBox.Text))), "Title", If(SortDescending1,Descending,Ascending))
create a searchtextbox a new textbox to search in the text searchtextbox.Text

I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.
