Filtering Gallery by Current User and a Related Data Field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

Hello,

 

I built an app and now I would need to filter the gallery by the current user and by the category that the user is assign to.

 

Table 1 has the fields Category, current user's email address

Table 2 has the fields Category, assigned user's email address

A user can be assigned to multiple categories.

 

How could I accomplish this?

 

Thank you for the help in advance!

    Example:

    Filter( Your_List, 'Created by'.Email = User().Email)

    Instead of 'Created by' you can use other fileds such as 'Assigned to', 'Modified by'. That field MUST be a Person field or contains the email

    Thanks @Nogueira1306, but this does not satisfy the requirements. It does not include the filter for the category that the user is assign to.

    Filter( Your_List, 'Created by'.Email = User().Email, Cattery = "Category")

    Thanks @Nogueira1306, but this still does not satisfy the requirements. It does not include the relationship for the category and the user that is assign to.

    Hi @zorban :

     Do you want to get something like this?

    Filter(
     Table1,
     CurrentUsersEmailAddress=User().Email &&
     Category in Filter(Table2,AssignedUsersEmailAddress=User().Email).Category
    )

    Best Regards,

    Bof

    Thanks @v-bofeng-msft ! It is very close, but still getting an error: The specified column is not accessible in this context." The error is for this part of the expression:

    Filter(Table2,AssignedUsersEmailAddress=User().Email).Category

    Hi @zorban :

    Could you tell me the exact names and data types of these four fields? Also do they allow multiple selection?

    Hi @v-bofeng-msft ,

     

    Table1 Category Text, Current user email Text

    Table2 Category Lookup, assigned user email Email

     

    I also created the category as a text filed on Table2 but getting the same error.

    One record can have only one category on Table1. One user email can be assigned to multiple categories.

    Thanks for the help!
