Can you share the code behind 'LowQtyItemsDataTable'.'Items'?

The code I provided is the only code I have on the data table under property 'Items'

Filter('Configs Inventory App', Value(Min_Qty_Column1.Text) > Value(Total_Qty_Column2.Text))

What about the text input controls? Have you set any default properties to them, and if yes - please share the code.

I don't have any text inputs. I was going to also filter the table with a dropdown that would filter by the Category column. but i havent set that up yet.

@Chrisguff12

You are trying to filter the source from the output - this is causing a circular reference. If your columns are numeric, you don't need the Value() as well.

In the Filter statement, refer to the columns from the data source directly, without adding .text

Ok so I changed my code to Filter('Configs Inventory App',Total_Qty < Min_Qty)
Now when I type the Last ")" in the code shows that it is working, after a few seconds the string turns red and gives me this error.

do you know why its failing?

What is your data source? What are the types of these 2 columns?
