Filtering a gallery with a collection vs directly from Sharepoint list

Hello everyone,

I have an app that has a visualization matrix for risks built up of 25 different galleries. Each gallery has a different filter, filtering two choice columns from SharePoint. Now I have to copy the app and change all the data connections, so I want to change the galleries to be filtering on a collection so that i only have to change the connection to the collection once.

The code I used for the Sharepoint list version is f.ex. the following:

Filter(Risklist, Likelihood.Value = 1, Impact.Value = 5)

Then I changed it get the info from a collection containing the same info, but this unfortunately didn't work.
Filter(RisklistCollection, Likelihood.Value = 1, Impact.Value = 5)

However, if I change it to the following code it works again.

Filter(RisklistCollection, "1" in Likelihood.Value, "5" in Impact.Value)

If someone could explain me what is happening in the background with the storage and referencing of the columns that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I am surprised the first one works - Choice fields are Text (not numeric) - this should work for both

Filter( RisklistCollection/RiskList, Likelihood.Value = "1" && Impact.Value = "5" )

or this

Filter( RisklistCollection/RiskList, Value(Likelihood.Value) = 1 && Value(Impact.Value) = 5 )

Thank you very much @WarrenBelz both of your suggestions worked perfectly.

Yes, the first one was functioning but the yellow warning signs were going off everywhere. So good to get rid of those anyway.
