Filter gallery using Startswith on a number column

Posted on by remariu 173
I'm trying to filter a gallery on the ID column in a sharepoint list but I need to avoid delegation issues.  I have tried various versions of the following but it is not pulling in the data.  Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
 
Filter(
'UserRequests list',
(StartsWith(
Text("ID"),
txtID.Value
))
)

    So, I am able to get the following to work; however, I have a delegation warning.  Is there any way to accomplish this with delegation?
     
    Filter(
    'UserRequests list',
    (StartsWith(
    Text(ID),
    TextInput1.Text
    ))
    )

    Hi  remariu
    Short answer - no. SharePoint will not accept Delegation of any field type conversion within a filter (so it will not turn all the ID columns to Text and then perform a filter on the resulting text string). You can use AddColumns, but this only masks the warning and it will not filter records beyond your Data Row Limit. ​​​​​​​
    Filter(
   AddColumns(
      'UserRequests list',
      IDTxt,
      Text(ID)
   ),
   StartsWith(
      IDTxt,
      txtID.Value
   )
)
