Posted on by ahmadluq

Hi,

I am new to power apps.

I have followed the YouTube channel on how to filter the gallery.

I have go through all the subject related to drop down filter.

But I still not get the solution.

I already spend 3 days searching what when wrong with my gallery's filter formula.

I have a gallery with data from excel table tbl_DetailsOpx.

I created a dropdown (Dropdwon1) with fx: Distinct(tbl_DetailsOpx, 'BUDGET CATEGORY').

Then on the gallery Items formula: Filter(tbl_DetailsOpx, 'BUDGET CATEGORY'= Dropdown1.Selected.Value).

But when preview, the gallery is empty. No filtering action happened.

Can anyone help me.

Thanks you very much.

Hi @ahmadluq ,

What data type is 'BUDGET CATEGORY'?
Maybe you can try this:
Filter(tbl_DetailsOpx, Text('BUDGET CATEGORY')= Text(Dropdown1.Selected.Value)) Or Filter(tbl_DetailsOpx, Value('BUDGET CATEGORY')= Value(Dropdown1.Selected.Value))

Hope this helps you!

Hi Rimmon Li,

Sorry for my late response.
Thank you for your fast reply.

Sorry I don't know how to set the 'Budget Category' excel column data type.
Can you explain how to do that in this thread?

And, I've tried your 2 formula. The 1st formula is working.
I am very glad.
But, when I using this formula it have error.
FontWeight=If(ThisItem.IsSelected, FontWeight.Semibold, FontWeight.Normal)

Can you please help me how to fix this formula here or I need to create a new thread?

Thank you very much.
