Filter from a CDS View in a Gallery

I am trying to use a CDS view as the items source for a gallery, then apply a filter function in the app based on user input.

 

My formula in the gallery's Items property:

 

Filter('Entity Name', 'Entity Name (Views)'.'View Name', 'Record Date' >= 'Date Picker Control'.SelectedDate)

 

Currently, the formula erroneously yields no results. If I remove the Date test from the formula, I get see results based on the view's sort and filter parameters, which I pre-set in the CDS View Designer. Those view-based sort/filter parameters are based on different fields than those being tested by any app controls. I tried swapping the Date test for a different field/data type/control, and had the same issue.

 

What's weird is that, when I set the gallery's items source as the CDS view, I get this error - "The specified record was not found. Server response: userid is empty guid!" Even when the gallery is successfully displaying records, using the view's preset sort/filter parameters, this error comes up. It can't be a delegation issue because I'm querying <500 records.

 

What gives?

    Can you try using this for your gallery items?

    Filter([@‘Entity Name'], 'Entity Name (Views)'.'View Name', 'Record Date' >= 'Date Picker Control'.SelectedDate)

    I wrapped the entity name to disambig and it worked on my end.

    So the data source should be [@‘Entity Name’] instead of just ‘Entity Name’

    Is the field on which you filter part of the view?

    Thanks for your assistance, unfortunately the issue remains.

     

    'Record Date' is Date-Only datatype is CDS. I've tried a text field as filter, and it yields the correct records, in the view's sort order, but I still have the "The specified record was not found. Server response: userid is empty guid!" error in the formula.

     

    I changed the screen's name and I turned off Delayed Load, but didn't see a setting for improved app rendering. After publishing, I'm still seeing the same issue.

    Hi @jrtpts m

    Could you tell me the data type of 'Record Date'?

    I've made a similar test but not met similar problem like your description.

    Here's my test:

    SET THE GALLERY'S ITEMS:

    Filter(testmanies,'testmanies (Views)'.'testmany Lookup View',Name="abc")

     Name is text type in my test. 'testmany Lookup View' is a view of testmanies entity.

    And my gallery display correctly.

    I've found a similar issue that may help you:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Failed-to-load-resource-The-specified-record-was-not-found/td-p/212064

    Please consider take a try to rename the screen name into a different name, then re-publish your app, check if the issue is solved.

    In addition, please consider take a try to turn off "Delayed load" option and "Improved app rendering (final validation)" option within Advanced settings of App setting of your app, re-publish your app, check if the issue is solved.
