Changing Data Source with Switch/If Function

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I am attempting to apply the filter function to a gallery with a data source dependent on the dropdown value selected. The current formula I am using

 

Filter(Switch(Dropdown.Selected.Value, "A", TableA, "B", TableB), Searchbox.Text in Title)

 

produces the error "Expected Record Value". The Switch function operates properly but the search function does not. Please advise. 

 

Thank you!

    I've seen this when trying to use an IF statement inside a Filter() function. You'll need to put the Switch statement on the outside and then duplicate the hard coded Filter statements for each Switch value.
