(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Nouhaila 13

Hi,

I have an application which uses Sharepoint list as its source, filter the gallery the with multiple columns my code is working but I am getting Delegable warning.

SortByColumns(
 Filter(
 [@Référence]; 
 StartsWith(Titre;TextInput1_4.Text) || //column 1
 StartsWith('Le client';TextInput1_4.Text) || //column 2
 StartsWith(Technologies;TextInput1_4.Text) && //column 3
 
(Services.Value=ComboBox1_13.Selected.Value || ComboBox1_13.Selected.Value=Blank())

&&

(Secteurs.Value=ComboBox1_12.Selected.Value || ComboBox1_12.Selected.Value=Blank())

);

 "Title";
 If(SortDescending1; Descending; Ascending))


I want to fix the delegable warning:

    Hi @Nouhaila ,

    Firstly, StartsWith() is Delegable, so the issue is not there - what type of fields are Titre, 'Le Client' and Technologies?

    Also, you might tidy up your and/or bracketing

    SortByColumns(
 Filter(
 [@Référence]; 
 (
 StartsWith(
 Titre;
 TextInput1_4.Text
 ) ||
 StartsWith(
 'Le client';
 TextInput1_4.Text
 ) || 
 StartsWith(
 Technologies;
 TextInput1_4.Text
 ) 
 ) &&
 (
 ComboBox1_13.Selected.Value=Blank() ||
 Services.Value=ComboBox1_13.Selected.Value
 ) && 
 (
 ComboBox1_12.Selected.Value=Blank() ||
 Secteurs.Value=ComboBox1_12.Selected.Value 
 )
 );
 "Title";
 If(
 SortDescending1; 
 Descending; 
 Ascending
 )
)

    @Nouhaila ,

     

    Kindly validate below details,

     

    1. SortByColumns is delegable only for Number, Text, Boolean and DateTime datatypes and not for any complex datatype.

    2. StartsWith only works with text and complex data type.

    3. Email and DisplayName are delegable in the Person data type.

     

    Check if any complex data type has been used inside.

     

     

    Regards,

    Prakash

    @Prakash4691 ,

    That is exactly the question I was asking - you might give @Nouhaila a chance to respond.

    Hi @WarrenBelz  @Prakash4691 

    The Date type of the fields which I have used are :

    Titre  >>>>>>>  single line of text
    Le client >>>>>> single line of text
    Technologies >>> Multiple Line of text
    le project >>>>>>single line of text

    @Nouhaila ,

    The Delegation issue is the Multiple lines of Text (Technologies) - queries on this field type are not Delegable.

    Hi @WarrenBelz 
    So, how to fix this? 

     

    and I am getting an issue, I cannot filter the gallery when I want to filter it with any of the combo boxes.

    SortByColumns(
 Filter(
 [@Référence]; 
 (
 StartsWith(
 Titre;
 TextInput1_4.Text
 ) ||
 StartsWith(
 'Le client';
 TextInput1_4.Text
 ) || 
 StartsWith(
 Technologies;
 TextInput1_4.Text
 ) 
 ) &&
 (
 ComboBox1_13.Selected.Value=Blank() ||
 Services.Value=ComboBox1_13.Selected.Value
 ) && 
 (
 ComboBox1_12.Selected.Value=Blank() ||
 Secteurs.Value=ComboBox1_12.Selected.Value 
 )
 );
 "Title";
 If(
 SortDescending1; 
 Descending; 
 Ascending
 )
)


    Services and Secteurs are both Choice column.

     

     

    Can you help me fix?

    @Nouhaila 

     

    Check whether search is enabled for combo box because it is not delegable.

    Hi @Prakash4691 

    The search is enabled (IsSearchable) which is true for both combo boxes, and I cannot filter the gallery with the Combo Boxes only too.

    with my code, can you please check?

    @Nouhaila ,

     

    Code looks fine. Could you try disable issearchable and check once.
