Hey guys,

Same thing here. Founds tons of post about the subject but none if it helped my case and I believe mine is one of the simplest, please forgive me to ask you.

I've got a SharePoint list and one of the column automatically changes its values, either "Ok" or "Low" based on a quick calculation which is simply: If value in column "Stock" is less than value in column "threshold", the value in column "Status" changes to Low and vice versa).

This is just to see what items in my stock is low and which one is not.

What I'm trying to achieve here is simply to have a button that would display the "Low" first and the "Ok" last. A simple sorting.

I'd like to do that by just dividing the number in stock by the threshold, and the lowest value returned would be in top of the results.

I could also just put the "Low" on top but then within the low, there would be no sorting within (like the lowest of the "low" would not be at the top for example.

There is the default button of the app when you build it you know, with the below code:

UpdateContext({SortDescending1: !SortDescending1})

I was thinking of reusing it. Doesnt matter at the end...

Appreciate your help!

Thanks

Anthony

Put this code in the Items property of your gallery.

Sort( AddColumns( your_datasource_name, "SortRank", (your_stockquantity_column / your_stockthreshold_column) ), SortRank, If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending) )

If you want the gallery to default to show the lowest level stock first put this code in the OnVisible property of your screen

UpdateContext({SortDescending1: true})

Hi!

Thank you, it does work. However the search is not working anymore when I change the code in the Gallery items.

It's currently the following:
SortByColumns(Filter([@'Stock Management'],StartsWith(Title,TextSearchBox1.Text)),"Title",If(SortDescending1,Descending,Ascending))

Hey man!

You're a real champion I really must analyze your formulas and try to understand them.
It works perfectly!

However when I open one of the product there is an error showing with the DetailForm1:

BrowseGallery1.Selected

If we fix that, we'll then just need to be able to filter the results using the drop down...

Thanks! Amazing job!
Anthony

When I go to the other screens (Product details and NewItem), I've got an error on the formula: BrowseGallery1.Selected

It tells me "Invalid fomula - expected a value compatible with datasource.

I know what's going on here! The gallery contents and the datasource do not match anymore due to the changes we have been making for the purposes of display. Use this code in your form's Item property to find the record instead.

LookUp([@'Stock Management'], ID = BrowseGallery1.Selected.ID)
