Hello community,

I have a gallery that reads from a SharePoint list (ListA) and display records from that ListA. I have a dropdown filter with distinct date value from List A.

I want to filter the gallery with the dropdown. I tried formulas like the one below, but it's not working.

Filter('List A', 'Work Date' in Dropdown_FilterDate.SelectedText.Value)

I know it's because the dropdown is reading the dates as text but and in SharePoint, the colume for "Work Date" is set to be a date so the two format are not matching, hence not filtering. But I tried converting the Dropdown_FilterDate.SelectedText.Value to a date such as Filter('List A', 'Work Date' in Date(Dropdown_FilterDate.SelectedText.Value)) but it still doesn't work

any help and advice is appreciated. Thank you

Hi @lliu_western ,
Try
Filter( 'List A', Text('Work Date',ShortDate) = Text(Dropdown_FilterDate.SelectedText.Value,ShortDate) )
or maybe
Filter( 'List A', DateDiff( 'Work Date', DateValue(Dropdown_FilterDate.SelectedText.Value), Days )=0 )

@WarrenBelz Actually, never mind, it worked! I had another filter that was causing it not working. THANK YOU.
