Im hoping this is possible.

I currently have a gallery that's items is the following:

SortByColumns(Filter('Contraband Log (CL)','Facility Location'.Value=Dropdown5_7.Selected.Value),"CLDateofContrabandDiscovery",SortOrder.Descending)

and the items within the list have MANY dates. i want to be able to filter by the Facility location like it already is, but also say that i only want to see the MONTH of the CLDateofContrabandDiscovery (which is a date picker). i have a dropdown to select the month (CS_Month_7) and i would like the filter to update based on that. i still need it sorted in descending order WITHIN the selected month

Hi @BHaapi ,

If I have interpreted your post correctly, you will also need the Year (I have guessed the control name so you may have to change it). I have also used the structure shown for Delegation reasons

With( { wData: SortByColumns( Filter( 'Contraband Log (CL)', 'Facility Location'.Value = Dropdown5_7.Selected.Value ), "CLDateofContrabandDiscovery", SortOrder.Descending ), wMonthYear: CS_Month_7.Selected.Value & CS_Year_7.Selected.Value }, Filter( wData, Text(CLDateofContrabandDiscovery,"mmmmyyyy") = wMonthYear ) ) )

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

So the year was originally a text field, but i had no problem updating it because i seen that the code was specifically looking for it. its not connecting to the datasource now though. Sorry i tried to troubleshoot a bit but this is my first use of the With code. im wondering if its something with the filter portion, as that is the only area that the formula isnt connecting properly.

Also, thank you so much. im going to continue looking at the With formula. this is my more advanced page, but it looks like something i should definitely be learning!

@BHaapi ,

Leave the year out for now and see if this is valid code

With( { wData: SortByColumns( Filter( 'Contraband Log (CL)', 'Facility Location'.Value = Dropdown5_7.Selected.Value ), "CLDateofContrabandDiscovery", SortOrder.Descending ) }, Filter( wData, Text(CLDateofContrabandDiscovery,"mmmm") = CS_Month_7.Selected.Value ) )

Hi @BHaapi ,

Please check your values and this code again- I just ran it here on a test list and received no errors and the expected result

So the With function wouldn't seem to work at all, but I was able to sort the list on Sharepoint and activate the same concept with
Items: Filter('Contraband Log (CL)','Facility Location'.Value=Dropdown5_7.Selected.Value && Text('Date of Contraband Discovery', "mmmm")= CS_Month_7.Selected.Value)

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi @BHaapi ,

I can assure you the With() function will work and was included to deal with a Delegation issue on the second filter

With( { wData: Filter( 'Contraband Log (CL)', 'Facility Location'.Value=Dropdown5_7.Selected.Value ) }, Filter( wData, Text('Date of Contraband Discovery', "mmmm") = CS_Month_7.Selected.Value ) )
