GroupBy and CountRows are not including records with zero counts

Posted on by

Let's say I have the following SharePoint list.

 

PersonDeviceDateReturned
Sam BLaptop7/1/2024
John SLaptop 
Jane DLaptop 
Jane DMonitor 

 

In my gallery, I want to display the following, where only those without a DateReturned have a count above 0:

 

Sam B

Devices: 0

----------------

John S

Devices: 1

----------------

Jane D

Devices: 2

 

The code below with GroupBy and CountRows is only returning records with counts above 0, which makes sense, since I am filtering for DateReturned = Blank().  This code returns:

 

John S

Devices: 1

----------------

Jane D

Devices: 2

 

Sort(
 Search(
 AddColumns(
 GroupBy(
 Filter('Inventory', DateReturned = Blank()),
 Username,
 GroupedItems
 ),
 IssueCount,
 CountRows(GroupedItems)
 ),
 txtEmployeeSearch.Value,
 Username
 ),
 Username
)

 

Is there a way for me to return ALL records (without the DateReturned filter), but have the CountRows return 0 for those with no blank DateReturned values?  It would be like a LEFT JOIN in SQL, but I haven't been able to figure it out.  I tried placing the data in a collection and playing with it, but the GroupBy stopped working and it was showing separate records because I included the DateReturned in the results, so I could find a way to work around it.
