Hi All

 

Wondering if someone can help me. I have created my power app from a sharepoint list but the search text box that was created will only search one specific field and I cant work out how to change it to search another field.

 

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous

     

    You can always add in All or Parts of your Field Titles for searching.

    Search( Customers, SearchInput.Text, "Name", "Company" )

     

    e.g;

    DS = Customers (which contains fields such as Name, Company, Address, Phone No, etc.

    You can modify to include or all or part of them:

    Search(Customers, SearchInputText, "Name", "Address", Phone No")

     

    Note: the search field title must be in "...."

    Hope this helps.

    Hi

     

    Blue circle means Delegation limitation. It is PA's limitation.

    Have you include Student Name inside the search string?

    May you share your

    Are you collecting the items first or trying to run the search on a CDS or similar?

     

    I've had issues with any type of query to a SQL connection but doing a collect on the data first then searching in multiple columns works without issue.
