Combo box to filter data in data table is not working when used along with other filters

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Keerthanagowsi 15

Hi All,

 

 I have developed a powerapp screen which has a data table with SQL Server as a source. I have multiple single select drop down filters to filter data in the data table. This is currently working fine.

Now i got a requirement to change one of the single select to multi select filters. I changed that particular drop down to combo box and when i applied the following code in my items property along with other filter conditions, i am getting some random filtered output. When i remove all the filter conditions and apply only the combo box condition, my output works fine.

 

Collection :

ClearCollect(DD,
ForAll(Distinct(Table,Column),
{Result: ThisRecord.Value}
));

 

ComboBox Items Property : DD.Result

 

In data table Items Property Filter condition:

Filter(Table,
If(IsBlank(ComboBox.Selected.Result), true,
Column in ComboBox.Selected.Result))

 

The above condition is not working when i add another filter condition with this.

 

EX:

Filter(Table,
If(IsBlank(ComboBox.Selected.Result), true,
Column in ComboBox.Selected.Result),

status = "1")

 

I tried the same by replacing the comma with and.. 

 

Filter(Table,
If(IsBlank(ComboBox.Selected.Result), true,
Column in ComboBox.Selected.Result) &&

status = "1").

 

This also doesn't works. Can someone help here with a solution?

Thanks in advance.

 Keerthanagowsi.

    Hi @Keerthanagowsi ,

    Firstly to tidy up a few things and get rid of the redundant Result reference - Collection

    ClearCollect(
 DD,
 Distinct(
 Table,
 Column
 )
);

    Items

    DD.Value

    First filter (and here is another question - if this is a Single Select combo box, why the in Filter ? You should need

    Filter(
 Table,
 Len(ComboBox.Selected.Value) = 0 ||
 Column = ComboBox.Selected.Value
)

    and to add your second filter - assuming Status is a Text field.

    Filter(
 Table,
 (
 Len(ComboBox.Selected.Value) = 0 ||
 Column = ComboBox.Selected.Value
 ) &&
 status = "1"
)

    Hi @WarrenBelz ,

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Answer for the question you have asked. The requirement is for multiselect. That's why i used in .

     

    I have tried the above solution and that is working as a single select. When i select multiple columns from the drop down, it is giving result only for the last selected value.

     

    So i changed the code from 

    Column = ComboBox.Selected.Value

     to 

    Column in ComboBox.SelectedItems.Value

    Now this is again giving incorrect output. 😞

    Hi @Keerthanagowsi ,

    Assuming here that your Combo Box is a multi-selection, but your field is only a single value (below is for Text, but is a Single Choice column, you need Column.Value )

    Filter(
 Table,
 (
 Len(ComboBox.Selected.Value) = 0 ||
 Column in ComboBox.SelectedItems
 ) &&
 status = "1"
)

    If your field is also multi-select, then this gets messy

    With(
 {
 wData:
 Filter(
 Table,
 status = "1"
 )
 },
 If(
 Len(ComboBox.Selected.Value) = 0,
 wData,
 Ungroup(
 ForAll(
 ComboBox.SelectedItems As aSel,
 Filter(
 wData,
 aSel.Value in Column.Value
 )
 ),
 "Value"
 )
 )
)

    Hi @WarrenBelz ,

     

    Can i ask one more follow up question for this?

    My drop down is also a multi select and my field is also a multi select. 

    The above one gives solution for one combo box.

    What should i do, if i need to have multiple multi select combo box with multi field/value selections, along with status filter? 

     

    TIA

    Hi @Keerthanagowsi ,

    You need just keep cascading - note (I forgot to mentioned this before), but the output record numbers of status = "1" is limited to your Delegation limit (the list however can be of any size)

    With(
 {
 wStatus:
 Filter(
 Table,
 status = "1"
 )
 },
 With(
 {
 wData:
 If(
 Len(ComboBox.Selected.Value) = 0,
 wStatus,
 Ungroup(
 ForAll(
 ComboBox.SelectedItems As aSel,
 Filter(
 wStatus,
 aSel.Value in Column.Value
 )
 ),
 "Value"
 )
 )
 },
 If(
 Len(ComboBox2.Selected.Value) = 0,
 wData,
 Ungroup(
 ForAll(
 ComboBox2.SelectedItems As aSel2,
 Filter(
 wData,
 aSel2.Value in Column2.Value
 )
 ),
 "Value"
 )
 )
 )
)
