Migrating app from excel to Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 725

Hi everyone

The rest of my app has transitioned fairly well, other than a few delegation warnings, but I have a combobox that's not happy.

 

If(Toggle1_1.Value = true,Sort(Distinct(Filter(Sent_Orders,QuantityO<>QuantityRO),OrderNumO &" "& Title),Result,Ascending),Sort(Distinct(Sent_Orders,OrderNumO &" "& Title),Result))

 

Under the (Filter(Sent_Orders,QuantityO<>QuantityRO) I am getting the red squiggles saying requested operation is invalid. 

Thank you for your time. QuantityO and QuantityRO are number columns in  Sharepoint.

    Do you have the ability to do QuanityO.Value <> QuantityRO.Value?

    No, it won't allow me to do .anything

    This one has me so confused as NWSEASD suggested I would have thought if I'm using Sharepoint as a data source and my columns are number type(which they are), that I would have to put .Value after the two column names. It seems to work fine when it had Excel as a database.

    Hi @Corissandageri ,

     

    Please try to modify part of the code you reported the error:

    Filter(Sent_Orders,QuantityO<>Value(QuantityRO))

     

    If you still have any question, please don't hesitate to let me know.

    If my post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help others.Thanks

    Best Regards,

    Hi @Corissandageri ,

     

    At my knowledge, we cannot directly compare two columns in sharepoint list,. This is a limitation of SharePoint OData query.

    So I suggest you put the data in List into the collection first.

     

    I've made a test for your reference:

    1\ This is my list “LIST42”.

    2\ Add a button control and set its onselect property to:

    ClearCollect(Test,LIST42)

     

    3\ Add a combo box control and set its Items property to:

    Filter(Test,QuantityO<>QuantityRO)

     

    At this point, the combo box control allows searching and the drop-down menu has options.

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky
