When I run this code it only returns a single name not all of the names.

ClearCollect(colVPElec, Filter(Office365Users.SearchUser(),JobTitle = "VP Engineering" ));

Afterwhich I want to additionally filter by department and get one name but right now I want to retrieve everyone with the VP Engineering job title

Hi colbyturybury

Wow that's weird! I thought of suggesting to filter outside of your collection, but I'm getting the same result. However, only with one specific job title. When I use other job titles, it works.

Could you give that a go?

So for example, in a gallery's Items property, add the filter like so...
Filter(colVPElec, JobTitle = "VP Engineering")

I am generating the collection from a button press with my above code. It is communicating with Active Directory so I need to be using the Office365Users connector.

I've just done some digging and it looks like the Office365Users connector only returns 100 results! Found this out by adding a label control with the following in the Text property

CountRows(colVPElec)

When I collect, it only shows 100. Hmmm

I wonder if this limit can be increased, or the filtering done on Office365, before collecting in PowerApps?

I managed to find a solution.

Still filtering outside your collection, you can grab all staff (up to 999) with this

ClearCollect(colVPElec, Office365Users.SearchUser({top:999}))

Now, once you have this collection, you can filter.

You may get the filter+collection in one go though I have not been successful with that

ClearCollect(colVPElec, Filter(Office365Users.SearchUser({top:999}),JobTitle = "VP Engineering" && Department = "Electrical").DisplayName)

Like I always like to say; there are many ways to scratch a cat.

What I've done to test is to

1) Create the collection of all staff (assuming the total staff is less than 1000!) using a button. Add this to the button's OnSelect property.

ClearCollect(colVPElec, Office365Users.SearchUser({top:999}))

2) Add a gallery and in its Items property, add the following

Filter(colVPElec, JobTitle = "VP Engineering")

I've added a dropdown with all the job titles, then you can select whichever job title you want from the dropdown, and then the gallery will update accordingly. Like this....

Filter(colVPElec, JobTitle = Dropdown.SelectedText.Value)

You can also add additional controls/dropdowns/Text fields, to further filter your collection.
