Using two Filter formulas within Gallery

I am looking to use both these formulas on a gallery independently or combine them so they still operate indepently. Currently they work independently if you insert this code into the gallery items however I have yet get the gallery to accept having them both added without errors. Basically, I want it so you are using one of the filters rather than both. I hide the unused filter when one of them is being used with a variable. Any help would be appreciated.

If(!IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected.Result), Filter('Resource-Request', 'Service Line' = ComboBox2.Selected.Result), Sort('Resource-Request', 'Work Type', Ascending))

If(!IsBlank(ComboBox3.Selected.Result), Filter('Resource-Request', Location = ComboBox3.Selected.Result), Sort('Resource-Request', 'Work Type', Ascending))

Hi @Dudditz ,
Free-typed, so watch commas and brackets, but this one should allow for both to be blank also
Sort( If( !IsBlank(ComboBox3.Selected.Result), Filter( 'Resource-Request', Location = ComboBox3.Selected.Result ), !IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected.Result), Filter( 'Resource-Request', 'Service Line' = ComboBox2.Selected.Result ), 'Resource-Request' ), 'Work Type', Ascending )

Warren you rock! That worked perfectly. One more question, if I wanted to use these together using the && function so they compliment each other do you have any insight on this? Thanks again for your help o this as this one has been a struggle getting the formatting right.

Thanks @Dudditz ,
When you say use together, I am assuming you want a result filtered by both if neither are blank - now it is getting complex. Again, the below was free-typed, but you should get the idea. You don't need the With() if you are happy to type in all the values repeatedly.
With( { bLoc:!IsBlank(ComboBox3.Selected.Result), bSer:!IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected.Result), vLoc:ComboBox3.Selected.Result, vSer:ComboBox2.Selected.Result }, Sort( If( bLoc && !bSer, Filter( 'Resource-Request', Location = vLoc ), bSer && !bLoc, Filter( 'Resource-Request', 'Service Line' = vSer ), bSer && bLoc, Filter( 'Resource-Request', 'Service Line' = vSer && Location = vLoc ), 'Resource-Request' ), 'Work Type', Ascending ) )

Great stuff, never seen the with function used in this scenario however it worked perfect. Going to use this in future apps. Thanks so much for your direction on this!

Thanks @Dudditz ,
A very powerful tool - you are essentially setting (very) temporary Variables to be used further on in the code.
Just one thing - it is a bit system resource intensive and be a little careful putting it in a large gallery when it has to calculate on every item. I think it actually broke a Power App on one my my posts a little while ago.
