Hello, I have been searching this site and trying all the things from the other Gallery filtering forums and I cant get mine to work. I am trying to filter my "Down_Machine_Gallery" by a true/false value. My data source for the gallery is on a excel doc (Etching_Maintenance_Reports), The column is called 'Machine id Down'. I want the Galley to not show any records with a false value. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Hi @Chrisguff12
Make the items property of your gallery: Filter(Etching_Maintenance_Reports, 'Machine id Down' = "True")
or Filter(Etching_Maintenance_Reports, 'Machine id Down' <> "False") if there are other values other than "False" that you want to show.
Thanks. I swear I had tried that formula before. but i think i missed the ""s.
I picked it up because in your screenshot True and False are capitalized and would have to be Text. Text requires double quotes. If it was just the binary, they would have been lower case.
One follow up question. in my form I have updated a few fields can you let me know the best way to update the Machine is down field to false at the same time that I'm updating the other three fields?
right now i have the update record icon Onselect as - SubmitForm(Down_Machine_Details_Form);ResetForm(Down_Machine_Details_Form);Navigate(SuccessScreen,Fade)
@Chrisguff12
We for one thing, don't put anything other than SubmitForm(Down_Machine_Details_Form) in the button. Put anything else you want to do in the OnSuccess property of the form. That way your commands will not be executed unless the form actually succeeds in submitting the data. For example, you wouldn't want to go to the Success Screen unless the submission actually worked! As for the rest, I would have the following in your form's OnSuccess property:
Patch( Etching_Maintenance_Reports, Down_Machine_Details_Form.LastSubmit, {'Machine id Down':"False"} ); ResetForm(Down_Machine_Details_Form); Navigate(SuccessScreen,Fade)
The patch will take the record that was just successfully submitted and make its 'Machine id Down' value "False" and then execute the reset and navigate functions.
awesome thanks. I didn't know they had a onSuccess property. everything's working great.
@Drrickryp
And then there's this. do you know why the form in not resetting/refreshing? the info on the right is from a closed report. i changed the update record to only have the submitform. and added your last formula to the OnSuccess property.
Update, I was doing some testing and with the left gallery empty and the right form showing the last closed report. I was able to change the parts replaced and it changed the field in the Excel Doc on OneDrive. If I leave the app the info will be gone but I need to make sure that if my team is working on two reports they don't accidently update the wrong record.
