Using the search bar with SharePoint choice columns

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I’ve built a page to view the status of every form response (similar to the Leave Request template). As well as clicking through the buttons to view the form responses in each category; all, pending, approved and denied, I’d also like to add a search bar in to filter through responses. The formula I’m using which is working is:

 

Search(
Filter('Hire Authorisation Submit',_requestTypeFilter = "All" ||
Status.Value = _requestTypeFilter),
'Hire Authorisation Search Bar'.Text,"field_6","field_7","field_8","field_9","field_4")

 

However, I’d also like to add field_5 into the formula for the search bar, the only issue is, within Sharepoint, this column is a Choice column. I’ve had a play around using the ‘Value’ item before and after “field_5” within the formula, however, I can’t find a way to add it in with the formula working.

 

Do you have any ideas on how I’d be able to do this, please?

    Hi, try the below using the AddColumns() function on the filter

     

    Search(
    AddColumns(Filter('Hire Authorisation Submit',_requestTypeFilter = "All" ||
    Status.Value = _requestTypeFilter),"Field5Text",field_5.Value),
    'Hire Authorisation Search Bar'.Text,"field_6","field_7","field_8","field_9","field_4","Field5Text")
