Populating a Gallery or Modern Tabs with items in groups of 5

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by

Is it possible to select items from a sharepoint list in groups of 5?  For instance, I am working with the modern tablist control.  Unfortunately it does not seem to stack the tabs if there are more than 5 items.  Instead you are presented with an ellipsis and a list.

In order to display 15 tabs, without an ellipsis, I am considering creating 3 separate sets of tabs (Records 1-5, 6-10 & 11-15).  I thought about adding an additional column to Sharepoint to filter against, but I am already using a switch and filtering by another column.  Here how I am currently pulling my items.

 

Switch(
    var_MeetingType,
    "Dev Group A",
    Filter(
        'Project Tracker',
        DevGroup = "A"
    ),
    "Dev Group B",
    Filter(
        'Project Tracker',
        DevGroup = "B"
    ),
    "Dev Group C",
    Filter(
        'Project Tracker',
        DevGroup = "C"
    )
)

 

My goal is to have the tab headers populate based on a set variable.  Where the first 5 filtered records are represented in one set of tabs, then records 6-10 are in a second set of tabs and 11-15 in a third tab group.

    Hey @jonfuego 

     

    As of no i (and many others) wont really suggest using modern controls too much. Most of them still in preview they can be buggy and cause issues in many places.

     

    I would suggest implementing your solution with classic controls.

     

     

    Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

    If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.

    @mmbr1606Thank you for your response.  My question is, technically, not isolated to Modern Controls.  It is more about filtering items in groups.  If it is possible, I would think it could work with classic galleries as well..... no?
