I have a gallery browse screen where I offer the option for the user to type in a search box to filter down by date or by pn.
The shareoint list is 3000 records
The filter starts with by PN works great
Same list the filter with by Mold date fails only returning some of the ones that fit the date
IDEAS?
 
If(searchmold="Y",SortByColumns(Filter('Livingston Molds',StartsWith('Mold Date',TextSearchBox1_1.Text) And Status="Storage"),"Mold_x0020_Date",SortOrder.Ascending),SortByColumns(Filter('Livingston Molds',StartsWith(P_x002f_N,TextSearchBox1_14.Text) And Status="Storage"),"P_x002f_N",SortOrder.Ascending))

hi

Yeah it wont work its a date. you should have to turn the date into Text and I do NOT recommend that because you will have delegation screaming at you.

you can convert mold date column in text, and then you can use, like below
If(searchmold="Y",SortByColumns(Filter('Livingston Molds',StartsWith(Text( 'Mold Date'),TextSearchBox1_1.Text) And Status="Storage"),"Mold_x0020_Date",SortOrder.Ascending),SortByColumns(Filter('Livingston Molds',StartsWith(P_x002f_N,TextSearchBox1_14.Text) And Status="Storage"),"P_x002f_N",SortOrder.Ascending))
