Filtering a gallery with a global variable

Posted on by tguihur

Hi everyone,

I have a gallery which shows the name and the school number. I also have a global variable with the number of the school where the user works. So I would like to show only the rows where those school numbers match.

I thought use a Filter function in the property ITEMS of the gallery, however it does not work.

Filter(Declarations; variableCompanyNumber=Gallery2.Subtitle2)

Declarations is the name of my the Sharepoint list data source.

What should I do? Thanks in advance

Consider this formula on the Items property of the Gallery;

Filter(Declarations,SchoolNumber column=variableCompanyNumber)

Hi @tguihur ,

Could you tell me:
1)how do you set this variable variableCompanyNumber?
2)the data type of SchoolNumber column?

3)what does "Gallery2.Subtitle2" represent?

I assume that :

gallery2 is this gallery's name, Subtitle2 is the control that you use to display SchoolNumber column.

So do you want to filter list that SchoolNumber column=variablevalue and display in gallery2?

If so, you need to make sure the data type of SchoolNumber column and the variable is the same.

Please try this:

Filter(Declarations;Value(SchoolNumber column)=Value(variableCompanyNumber))

Best regards,
