Search('Table', TextSearchBox1.Text, "IDNumber")

Is there a way to Search for a number in a Gallery? Attempting to use a field in my Search that is a Number format just seems to lead to a error.

You can search only for text. you can either format the number to text
Search('Table', Text(TextSearchBox1.Text), Text(IDNumber))
Or use filter instead

Issue is Text(IDNumber) doesn't work. It says Text has a invalid value.

Can you try Text(TableName.IDNumber)
What datasource are you using? Sharepoint?

No luck. Invalid argument again. I am using CDS (Common Data Service).

Never tried that. Any chance to use Filter instead?

Filter('Table', Value(TextSearchBox1.Text) = IDNumber)

Was hoping to use Search for this specific part... but if it isn't possible not a lot can be done. I'll slot this into my existing Filter

One of the option how you can achive to use search is to collect your datasource into a collection and search in the collection. Need a help doing that?

Another solution is to first create a custom column in your dataset using the AddColumns function, that converts that number field to text, then you can search on it.
Search( AddColumns('Table', "MyTextCol", Text(IDNumber)), TextSearchBox1.Text, "MyTextCol")

Hi, try this:

Property Items in your gallery component:

Search(
AddColumns(colYourTable, "IDSearch", Text(IDNumber)),
TextSearchBox1.Text,
"IDSearch"
);
