Adding a searching function to my gallery

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 302

I have a gallery with the items code - on start of my app it sets varFolderPathCurrent to a path I set.

How do i filter Gallery1 to if Searchbox1 is empty then just filter 'Folder path' = varFolderPathCurrent
but if Searchbox1 isn't empty it should filter Hospice by StartsWith(Name,Searchbox1.Value) 

If the searchbox is empty i want it to just display the varFolderPathCurrent if not I want it to filter by the entered text in the search box

 

SortByColumns(
 Filter(
 Hospice,
 'Folder path' = varFolderPathCurrent
 ),
 "{IsFolder}",
 SortOrder.Descending,
 "{Name}",
 SortOrder.Ascending
)

    Hi @honganhuynh1 you can do the follwoing: 

     

    SortByColumns(
     Filter(
     Hospice,
     StartsWith(Name,Searchbox1.Text),
     'Folder path' = varFolderPathCurrent
     ),
     "{IsFolder}",
     SortOrder.Descending,
     "{Name}",
     SortOrder.Ascending
    )

     

    If the search box is blank this should still display all records that meet 'Folder path' = varFolderPathCurrent
