hello,

I try to filter my gallery using ComboBox , the last condition shows that there's an error related to the line of code that i inserted , when i hover over to the underlined error , it displays "Expected operator.  We expect an operator  such as +,&, or * at this point in the formula"

 

Thank you in advance!

    Hi @lunalovegood ,

    The syntax is incorrect.

     

    The last condition should be like below if you want to check if ComboBox2.Selected.'Keywords' is blank. 

     

     IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected.'Keywords')

     

    OR check this if you want 'Keywords' = ComboBox2.Selected.'Keywords'). You are missing "="

     

    Filter(
'HEO Lesson Learn', 
IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected.Value) || IsEmpty(ComboBox2.SelectedItems) || 'Keywords' = ComboBox2.Selected.'Keywords')

     

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I hope this helps.

    the underlined "=" display error , incompatible type for comparison. these type cant be compared : Record, error. 

    the underlined 'Keywords' display error,  Name isnt valid. 'Keywords' isnt recognized.

    @lunalovegood Try with without ' '

    Filter(
'HEO Lesson Learn', 
IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected.Value) || IsEmpty(ComboBox2.SelectedItems) || Keywords = ComboBox2.Selected.Keywords)

     

    Do you have that column name in source?

    @lunalovegood Apologies, forgot to mention that Value should be in both places.

    Filter(
'HEO Lesson Learn', 
IsBlank(ComboBox2.Selected.Value) || IsEmpty(ComboBox2.SelectedItems) || Keywords.Value = ComboBox2.Selected.Value)
