Filter formula for global variable

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 83

For my item description box, I would like to filter the descriptions depending on the commodity that was chosen. The current box for the commodity is datacardvalue9. This is the current formula I use

Filter ('Conditioning Tool 2', Commodity = DataCardValue9.Selected.Result). It is not working. Although, a dropdown box is in the commodity section. A global variable is used to select the correct commodity depending on the button used to get to the edit screen. Is this why the formula is not working? If so, how do I fix the issue?

    I want the item descriptions that pop up to match the commodity selected. See how avocados is the commodity, however it starts with pears.
