Hello,

I'm creating an app that has upcoming items that I need to filter. (Somewhat like a to do list). The idea is if you look at items on the list, you will see items due within 30 days of today first.....or with the closest due date to todays date first. either way.

I also need a search bar to work with this so that if I search for specific locations or tasks, the ones due closest to today will come up first. Any thoughts?

Bonus points if you can tell me how to do it without showing items that are too far past due. (This is for Instrument Calibrations and if it's already past due, we just need to calibrate it and move on. These are calibrated Quarterly and I don't need to see items that were due 6 months ago)

You've got a big bunch of questions rolled into one, so I'll provide you with a piece of code that does most of what you are after. It is based on the following assumptions about a table called myTable, with the following columns:

DueDate
ItemName
Status (a text field that has "Calibrated" or "Uncalibrated" in it)

With( {aDueSoon: Filter(myTable,DueSoon>=DateAdd(Today(),-92,Days), Status = "Uncalibrated")}, SortByColumns( Search(aDueSoon,Search.Text,"ItemName"), "DueDate", SortOrder.Descending ) )
Search.Text is a control that you can enter search text into. This should be a delegable query too.

Give it a try and let us know how it works.

So with that, the search function works, but dates do not filter to ascending/descending. I did have to remove the Status portion of the code, because I don't have a status for completed or not, as every calibration record has to be entered from scratch for each device (DOT & Company Policy for recordkeeping)....And I think that's what is going to give me the hardest time with this.

I take that back, I just had to refresh the app and the sort function now works.

Given the information I have, I believe this will work good enough for what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks for your input.
