Hello,

I have a PowerApp with a SharePoint List as the data source.

What I basically would like to do is to filter the Gallery when a checkbox is selected.

My Gallery items section has :

SortByColumns(Filter([@CollectionRequests], StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1.Text)), "Created", Descending)

The relevant column is called 'Business Unit' in my SP list.

On my OnCheck I have:

Filter(CollectionRequests,'Business Unit'="CBRO")

But I'm not sure how to modify my Gallery formula without losing current functionality.

In advance thank you !!!

Assuming your checkbox1,
Change the filter on the Gallery to;

If(Checkbox1.Value,
SortByColumns(Filter([@CollectionRequests], StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1.Text)), "Created", Descending),CollectionRequests)

@eka24 thanks for the reply. That doesn't seem to work. It's not filtering by the column value I want. It's also putting my gallery from oldest to newest when Unchecked.

I have seen you modified the question. Do you want to combine the two codes with the checkbox?

If(!Checkbox1.Value,
SortByColumns(Filter([@CollectionRequests], StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1.Text)), "Created", Descending),
SortColumns(
Filter(CollectionRequests,'Business Unit'="CBRO"),"Created"))

@eka24 Sorry about the ninja edit, I wanted to my question more specific.

but to answer your question, yes I would like to keep the Gallery's functionalities intact when the checkbox isn't checked. and when OnCheck, filter the Gallery from newest to oldest based on the Business unit column value

@eka24

I pixelated the name of my collection and other identifying info.
Let me know if this is clearer.
Thanks for your help!

Check the spelling of SortByColumns in the second line:

If(!Checkbox1.Value,
SortByColumns(Filter([@CollectionRequests], StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1.Text)), "Created", Descending),
SortByColumns(
Filter(CollectionRequests,'Business Unit'="CBRO"),"Created"))

@eka24 That works! Thank you so much.

Now if I wanted to combine a drop-down into the formula?
I'll open a new question, much appreciated.
