Hello,

I have a gallery of tasks showing who is assigned on each task. Is there a way to filter this gallery using a dropdown with 'assigned to'? Thanks.

I use this filter:

Filter(TASKS,ASSIGNEDTO=drpAssignedTo.Selected.Value)

But getting this error:

Hi @Crostini ,
Assume it is the person's name you are displaying on the drop-down and ASSIGNEDTO is a Person field

Filter( TASKS, ASSIGNEDTO.DisplayName = drpAssignedTo.Selected.Value )

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

The ASSIGNED to field type is Single Line of Text and shows as the 'Primary Name Column'. The Items property of the drpAssignedTo is 'Assigned Tos'
Thanks again.

@Crostini ,

What is your Data source, is the field name ASSIGNED or ASSIGNEDTO and what do you mean by Primary Name Column ? Also, what field name and type from 'ASSIGNED TOS' are you displaying in drpAssignedTo.

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

I have 2 Tables ( TASKS and ASSIGNED TOS)

Table#1: ASSIGNED TOS contains Name and Email
In the Display name, the Name field shows 'Primary Name Column' and is a Single line of text as data type.
Table #2: TASKS table, there is a column ASSIGNED TO that with data type as LOOKUP (looking up records from table #1).

The field that I am displaying in drpAssignedTo from the ASSIGNED TOS table is "Name"

Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks again.
