Filter list by dropdown and search box

Posted on by Jensen

I have a gallery that has a dropdown filter and a search box and I'd like to be able to use both. I can get one or the other working, depending on the formula.

Search box (default)

SortByColumns(Filter(Trials, StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1_1.Text)), "Title", If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending))

Dropdown filter:

IF(Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "All Sites", Trials, Filter (Trials, Foundry.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value))

I'm having a hard time combining two formulas into one usable formula. I found some similar threads but couldn't apply them specifically to what I was going for.

Thank you

Hi @Jensen
You can try something like this to combined the 2 formulas :
SortByColumns(Filter(Trials, StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1_1.Text) && (Dropdown1.Selected.Value="All sites" || Foundry.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value) ), "Title", If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending))
If "All sitess" is selected, the second condition is true so no need to filter the Foundry.Value.
But if it's false, then the filter on foundry will operate.

@tchin-nin is right, you should do it as he said.

You could also do it like this (I find it easier to read):
SortByColumns( Filter(Trials, IsBlank(TextSearchBox1_1.Text) || StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1_1.Text), Dropdown1.Selected.Value="All sites" || Foundry.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value ) , "Title" , If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending) )
You could also drop the DropDown and change to a ComboBox. A combobox can be with no selection. The formula then becomes like:
SortByColumns( Filter(Trials, IsBlank(TextSearchBox1_1.Text) || StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1_1.Text), IsBlank(ComboBox.Selected.Value) || Foundry.Value = ComboBox.Selected.Value ) , "Title" , If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending) )
Hope this helps,

Paul

@KroonOfficeSol

What would I need to add to get a second dropdown filter to work with this?

Just add a comma and an extra line like the other dropdown. This one
Dropdown2.Selected.Value="All sites" || SecondField.Value = Dropdown2.Selected.Value

You can add as many you like.
