Custom filter instead of startwith

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello Folks!

 

I have a sharepoint list and I would like to search between them with text input. The below works like a charm but this solution only filter my items based on the starting characters. How can I create a filter what is works like "ctrl+f" in a acrobat reader(example)

 

Filter(Sp list, StartsWith(Title, TextInput1.Text))

 

Thank you

    There are several depending on your situation and the size of your list.   https://www.practicalpowerapps.com/delegation/power-apps-delegation-sharepoint/

    Thank you @rubin_boer for your suggestion. This worked but the program higlightes this with delegation problem but at this: Filter(Sp list, StartsWith(Title, TextInput1.Text)) is not. Do you have any clue for it? What is the difference between the two filter?

     

    Edit: Okay I see now. I think this has delegation problem due to the "in" within the filter. Do you have any solution for that? I mean that I can avoid the delegation problem.

     

    Thank you
