Posted on by teach20

I would like to replace StartsWith with "contains" so that it will search for any character(s) contained in the project and program columns. Can someone please help me to edit these formulas while keeping them delegable? My current code in my galProjects is below:

Switch(varSortColumn, "msdyn_name",
SortByColumns(
Filter(
 'Project Request', Approval = 'Approval (Project Request)'.No && 'Project Request Status'<>'Project Status Choices'.Deleted &&
 And(
 Or(
 IsBlank(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems),
 IsEmpty(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems),
 'Project Request Status' = Index (
 cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems,
 1
 ).Value,
 'Project Request Status' = Last(
 FirstN(
 cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems,
 2
 )
 ).Value,
 'Project Request Status' = Last(
 FirstN(
 cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems,
 3
 )
 ).Value
 ),
 StartsWith(
 Name,
 inpSearch.Text
 ) || StartsWith(
 Program,
 inpSearch.Text
 )
 )
),"msdyn_name",If(varSortDirection = Ascending, Descending, Ascending)),
"cr155_program",
SortByColumns(
Filter(
 'Project Request',
 And(
 Or(
 IsBlank(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems),
 IsEmpty(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems),
 'Project Request Status' = Index (
 cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems,
 1
 ).Value,
 'Project Request Status' = Last(
 FirstN(
 cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems,
 2
 )
 ).Value,
 'Project Request Status' = Last(
 FirstN(
 cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems,
 3
 )
 ).Value
 ),
 StartsWith(
 Name,
 inpSearch.Text
 ) || StartsWith(
 Program,
 inpSearch.Text
 )
 )
),"cr155_program",If(varSortDirection = Ascending, Descending, Ascending)))

Search() function and the "in" operator are not delegatable in SharePoint. There are work arounds but there is a performance hit for larger databases. See @WarrenBelz 's blog Practical PowerApps for them. If you must use them consider switching from SharePoint to Dataverse or SQL. In Dataverse,

With({filt1:SortByColumns( Filter( 'Project Request'', Approval = 'Approval (Project Request)'.No && 'Project Request Status'<>'Project Status Choices'.Deleted), Or(Len(cmbBoxHid.Selected.Value)=0 , 'Project Request Status' = Index cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems, 1 ).Value, 'Project Request Status' = Last(FirstN(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems, 2 )).Value, 'Project Request Status' = Last(FirstN(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems, 3 )).Value ),"msdyn_name", If(varSortDirection = Ascending, Descending, Ascending) ), filt2:SortByColumns( Filter('Project Request", Or( Len(cmbBoxHid.Selected.Value)=0 , 'Project Request Status' = Index cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems, 1 ).Value, 'Project Request Status' = Last(FirstN(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems, 2 )).Value, Project Request Status' = Last(FirstN(cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems, 3 )).Value ),"cr155_program", If(varSortDirection = Ascending, Descending, Ascending) ) }, If( varSortColumn = "msdyn_name", Search(filt1,inpSearch.Text,"Program","Name"), varSortColumn = "cr155_program", Search(filt2,inpSearch.Text,"Program","Name") ) )

Hi Rick! Thanks for the information. My table is currently in a Dataverse database. Is that still possible?

Hi @teach20 and thanks for the mention @Drrickryp ,

I suspect you are using Dataverse here when you are using this line

'Project Request Status' <> 'Project Status Choices'.Deleted

The code below is based on this premise - if you are using SharePoint, the whole filter is pretty much subject to Delegation, even if you are not getting a warning. I also assume you have set varSortDirection with SortOrder.Ascending / SortOrder.Descending, not the word. I could have also used Search() here but kept it to one Filter.

SortByColumns( Filter( 'Project Request', ( varSortColumn = "cr155_program" || ( Approval = 'Approval (Project Request)'.No && 'Project Request Status' <> 'Project Status Choices'.Deleted ) ) && ( Len(cmbBoxHid.Selected.Value) = 0 || 'Project Request Status' in cmbBoxHid.SelectedItems.Value ) && ( inpSearch.Text in Name || inpSearch.Text in Program ) ), varSortColumn, varSortDirection )
