Not sure where to place search function

Posted on by tonysommer

My current formula for my Gallery Items property is:

If(isAdmin,Sort(AllTickets,Created,Descending),Sort(Filter(AllTickets,Author.Email=MyProfile.Mail||Author.Claims=MyProfile.UserPrincipalName),Created,Descending))

I would like to add search functionality to filter all tickets:

Search(AllTickets, SearchBox.Text, "Title", "AssignedTo","Priority","TaskStatus")

However I am not sure where to put this at to allow both displaying all tickets and letting me search the gallery.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

You have combined Sort and Filter correctly. You just need to replace AllTickets within your Filter by the search expression and also in the first sort function.

Something like this:

If(isAdmin,Sort(Search(AllTickets, SearchBox.Text, "Title", "AssignedTo","Priority","TaskStatus"),Created,Descending),Sort(Filter(Search(AllTickets, SearchBox.Text, "Title", "AssignedTo","Priority","TaskStatus"),Author.Email=MyProfile.Mail||Author.Claims=MyProfile.UserPrincipalName),Created,Descending))

Let me if this doesn't work.

Apologies it does work. When it is the following:
If(isAdmin,Sort(Search(AllTickets, SearchBox.Text, "Title"),Created,Descending),Sort(Filter(Search(AllTickets, SearchBox.Text, "Title"),Author.Email=MyProfile.Mail||Author.Claims=MyProfile.UserPrincipalName),Created,Descending))

However whenever I add anything other than "Title" it states that there are some invalid arguments.

So you can only use text fields for searching. I believe Title is a text field. If you were trying to search by any other field that's not text, it will throw an error.

No other way around this to search choice fields or drop-downs or anything?

Nothing that's available out of the box using Search function. However you can use filter function to get a list of the desired results. Will that work?

Hi @PowerAddict ,

So far it is not possible to use the Search function for column types other than strings.

There is a workaround which is using a collection created with your SharePoint list, then use the AddColumns function to run a calculation on the non-text field and turning it into a new field that was a text item. Then use Search on the newly created field.

AddColumns(myTable, "newColumn", PlainText(oldColumn.Value))

Regards,

Mona
