Filter or sort attachments in gallery to open only pdf file with button

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 44

Hi, I put a button in my gallery to open the first attachment,I need this button to only open this pdf attachment, the attachment field will always have a single PDFs generated by me using powerautomate so I can give it custom name based on other stuff and JPGs uploaded trought a mobile app.

 

I need the button to always open the PDF attachment and leave the rest:

Kitsutsuki19898_0-1665675837537.png here I used the classic "First(thisitem.attachments).absoluteuri"

 

Kitsutsuki19898_1-1665675887274.pngThis is an example of the PDF file, it will always start with "Modulo_" or whatever is needed/suggested.

 

I know I can for now simply put a " _ " in front of the pdf name to have it as first result, but I would like the file name to be "pretty" thanks

 

 

Thanks in advance!

    This should do the trick. You can filter the source before the First() function. If you want the button within the gallery so it appears on each item:

    Launch(
     First(
     Filter(
     ThisItem.Attachments,
     EndsWith(
     DisplayName,
     "pdf"
     )
     )
     ).AbsoluteUri
    )

     

    If you instead want the button outside the gallery:

    Launch(
     First(
     Filter(
     Gallery1.Selected.Attachments,
     EndsWith(
     DisplayName,
     "pdf"
     )
     )
     ).AbsoluteUri
    )

    If needed, you could also add another filter argument to check for the beginning of the attachment name:

    Launch(
     First(
     Filter(
     Gallery1.Selected.Attachments,
     EndsWith(
     DisplayName,
     "pdf"
     ),
     StartsWith(
     DisplayName,
     "modulo_"
     )
     )
     ).AbsoluteUri
    )
