Hey! In filters you cant use ||

SortByColumns(Filter(ProlemForm, 'Created By'.Email = User().Email, ...

Try Using User().Email else go to settings --> change the count for 500 to 2000
if not working try using FIRSTN or LASTN because Powerapps filter will be based on Performance based.

What you can do is:

SortByColumns(Filter(ProlemForm, 'Created By'.Email = User().Email, CountRows(Filter( CollectionName, Email = varuseremail),CountRows(Filter( CollectionName, Email = varuseremail)

I think your problem is on "To" and "CC"

@Nogueira1306

Your statement is incorrect - || (OR) and && (AND) are ALL usable in Filters and any other datasource criteria.

They are preferred over any other logic (like If statements) in criteria.

@johnjohn123

Yes - you can make your formula delegable. But your formula logic is not correct based on what you want.

@RandyHayes i want the filter to show the items that are :-

1) Created by the user
2) OR the user is defined inside the To user
3) OR inside the Cc users..

so why my formula is not correct?

@johnjohn123

Let me refine your statement and tell me if it is correct:

1) Created by the user - Return ALL records in the ProblemForm datasource that were created by the user

2) OR the user is defined inside the To user - If the user is in the To datasource Return ALL records in the ProblemForm datasource

3) OR inside the Cc users.. - If the user is in the Cc datasource Return ALL records in the ProblemForm datasource

@RandyHayes No .. if the user is defined inside the Cc users to only show the items which the user is defined inside the Cc users... same applies to the To!!
