Posted on by Sunbed002 53

Hi,

 

I am trying to use search box to search items in connected excel file in sharepoint.

I have been successful in connecting the sharepoint excel file to gallery list.

 

Issue:

  • I entered in search formula:
    items = Search(MT_list,TextInput1.Text,"MATERIAL NAME","PART","PARTLIST CODE2")
  • When run the app, and type in item name in the search box.
    The gallery doesn't show result - blank.
  • After I clear the search box, then gallery will show list.

    Thanks in an advance

    Hi @Sunbed002 ，

    Possible causes of this problem are:
    1.Search is only valid for strings

    I tested the two fields separately:

    Here is excel:

    Here is MATERIAL NAME test

    vchengfenmsft_3-1673594553227.png

    Here is PART test

    Please try :

    Filter(Table1_3, TextInput1.Text in Text('MATERIAL NAME') Or TextInput1.Text in Text('PART') Or TextInput1.Text in Text('PARTLIST CODE2'))
