Hi.

I have a dropdown that lists project numbers. For example, a project number would start with12345.345. I would like to filter a table with project numbers that start with12345.345. I tried using

Filter(Projs, ProjNumb = StartsWith(ProjNumb, dd_Proj_Numb.Selected.Value) in the Items field and its not working.
 
Thank you for looking.

Just use the StartsWith operation (delete the "ProjNumb =" operation). You're not looking for what ProjNumb is equal to, you're looking for what it starts with.

Filter(Projs, StartsWith(ProjNumb, dd_Proj_Numb.Selected.Value))

The Filter function basically just returns items from a collection that cause a "True" boolean after going through whatever formula you put in the Filter.
