Operator Column in SharePoint List

(0) Share

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

I have operator column in SharePoint list which contains(<, >, != etc.). I want to compare my value using an operator from SharePoint list.

Like for example:

Amount Operator

10 <

20 >

//DataCardValue16.Text = 15

//Amount = 10

Filter(SP_List, DataCardValue16.Text > Amount ) // here I want to use dynamic operator

Is possible to use this scenario as i want to dynamically select the operator against value in SharePoint list?

Regards,

Ahmad.

HI @Anonymous ,

The Short answer is no - you cannot refer to anything (controls, fields, operators) dynamically in Power Apps. You could do it with If() statements using each value and then the statement that applies to it.

Thanks WarrenBelz.

Solved my problem but I am facing a delegation issue in filter and I don't know how to get rid of this

here you can the code:
==========
Filter(
SP_List,
If(
operatorLabel.Text = ">" ,DataCardValue16.Text > Amount,
operatorLabel.Text = "<" ,DataCardValue16.Text < Amount,
operatorLabel.Text = "!=" ,DataCardValue16.Text <> Amount,
operatorLabel.Text = ">=" ,DataCardValue16.Text >= Amount,
operatorLabel.Text = "<=" ,DataCardValue16.Text <= Amount
)
=======

Ahmad.

Hi @Anonymous ,

One reason for the Delegation warning is the <> (does not equal) operator. Also I assume that the Amount is a numeric value, so try try this

With( {wValue:Value(DataCardValue16.Text)}, Filter( SP_List, Switch( operatorLabel.Text, ">", wValue > Amount, "<", wValue < Amount, "!=", Abs(wValue-Amount)>0, ">=", wValue >= Amount, "<=", wValue <= Amount ) ) )

@WarrenBelz actually <> is delegable for numeric, but I had to chime in because I LOVE the use of Abs for the not equal operation!!!

Thanks again.

I am still getting a delegation problem in this code. Is it because i am using switch in filter ?

@Anonymous ,

No - Switch is nothing more than a "shorthand" If() statement. It seems two things - the conditional filter does not like Delegation and also not the Abs() - though I have used it before. The below is Delegable

With( {wValue: Value(DataCardValue16.Text)}, Switch( operatorLabel.Text, ">", Filter( SP_List, wValue > Amount ), "<", Filter( SP_List, wValue < Amount ), "!=", Filter( SP_List, wValue <> Amount ), ">=", Filter( SP_List, wValue >= Amount ), "<=", Filter( SP_List, wValue <= Amount ) ) )
