Filter gallery by multiple titles

Posted on by ItsGavin_ 16

Hi All, 

 

I am trying to create an App that feeds from a list where manuals are stored. I only need a small handful of manuals in the list, so I am trying to work out a way to filter out all the manuals I don't need, leaving me with the manuals I do need. 

 

I have used Filter('ListName', "Part of manual title" in Title) which works fantastically.. for one manual. I can't seem to get my head around being able to put multiple manual names in the formula to bring up all the manuals I require.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @ItsGavin_ ,

    Put is a Text Input and do this

    Filter(
 'ListName', 
 YourTextBoxName.Text in Title
)

    Thank you! 

     

    I am trying to filter out all manuals that aren't necessary for users - only showing the manuals that are needed. So using a search box where users search for manuals they want isn't effective in this instance.

    @ItsGavin_ ,

    A search box will show matching manuals, which is what you asked. The other way would be to have a drop down of all the manuals and choose multiple items. Is this what you in want to do?

    @WarrenBelz 

    I may not have been very clear, my apologies!

    I have a list of about 30 manuals, as this app will be used by one specific department, I would like this app to display only 5 manuals and not display the other 25 manuals at all as those manuals are not relevant to the department using this app.

    So I am trying to get a formula that will filter the list by the name of the manuals that I need and not display anything else. I had used the formula Filter('ListName', "Part of manual title" in Title), which works great, but I can only get this to work for one manual. Is there a way to expand this filter to include all 5 manuals?

     

    Sorry for being so confusing!

    @ItsGavin_ ,

    Yes it is a bit confusing if neither of my posts were not what you need. You can only filter by specific values (the drop-down list) or by part of a string being in all the manuals you need (to he search box). How else do you want to identify to he required manuals?

    @WarrenBelz 

    Each manual has a name (B4-2, C3-4,A5-3 etc) so I was hoping to be able to filter by that name/code to just display those manuals

    @ItsGavin_ ,

    Then if you make a list of them, you can have a multi-select combo box as I suggested earlier. Would that work for you?

    @WarrenBelz 

    Its a good idea, with the multi select combo box, however, I am trying to take the user selection out of it - the manuals presented are the only manuals that can be accessed.

    @ItsGavin_ ,

    Then hard-code it.

    Filter(
 'ListName',
 Title B4-2 ||
 Title =C3-4 ||
 Title = A5-3
)
