This is the part of my formula that throws the error. Does anything look wrong?

 

 

AddColumns(
Search(
Filter(
Filter(
Sort(
'Controls Support',
'Requested Date',
If(
iptStatus_4.SelectedText.Value = "Open",
Ascending,
Descending
)
),
'Ref Assignee' = datAssignee_4.Text
),
Or(
IsBlank(iptStatus_4.SelectedText.Value),
'Ref Status' = iptStatus_4.SelectedText.Value
),
Or(
IsBlank(iptCategory_4.SelectedText.Value),

    @WarrenBelz any ideas.?

  • WarrenBelz Profile Picture

    @Compsci28 ,

    Firstly, your syntax composes as correct (another reason I wanted Format Text), so there is not formula error as such.

    Then apart from the nested Filter (which you do not need as you can put it all in one statement) and the Sort "inside" rather than wrapping it around the whole formula, the top bit looks fine.

    I do not use the Office365Users connector, so cannot comment on that area (although you said there were no errors there.

    The only other comment is that I have found Search and Filter do not always "play well together" and I tend to use an In statement with the rest of the filter and this has always worked.

    @WarrenBelz  Can you show me how it would all fit into one statement.?

    HI @Compsci28 ,

    Firstly, I cannot possibly test this and I free-typed it, so I will have to leave you to fix any stray/missing brackets or commas, but you will get the idea of the syntax required.

    Sort(
 AddColumns(
 Filter(
 'Controls Support',
 'Ref Assignee' = datAssignee_4.Text ||
 (
 IsBlank(iptStatus_4.SelectedText.Value) &&
 'Ref Status' = iptStatus_4.SelectedText.Value
 ) ||
 (
 IsBlank(iptCategory_4.SelectedText.Value) &&
 'Ref Category' = iptCategory_4.SelectedText.Value
 ) ||
 )
 IsBlank(iptDivision_4.SelectedText.Value) &&
 'Ref Division' = iptDivision_4.SelectedText.Value
 ) ||
 'Ref Status' = "Open" || 
 'Ref Status' = "Closed" || 
 'Ref Status' = "Declined" ||
 varSearchText in Title ||
 varSearchText in Details ||
 varSearchText in CustomerName||
 varSearchText in Requester ||
 varSearchText in From
 ),
 "Requester Name",
 Coalesce(
 LookUp(
 'Controls Support Customers',
 Email = Requester
 ).Name,
 If(
 EndsWith(
 Requester,
 "@muratec-usa.com"
 ),
 Trim(
 Concatenate(
 IfError(
 First(
 Office365Users.SearchUser(
 {
 searchTerm: Requester,
 top: 1
 }
 )
 ).GivenName,
 ""
 ),
 " ",
 IfError(
 First(
 Office365Users.SearchUser(
 {
 searchTerm: Requester,
 top: 1
 }
 )
 ).Surname,
 ""
 )
 )
 )
 ),
 Requester
 ),
 'Controls Support',
 'Requested Date',
 If(
 iptStatus_4.SelectedText.Value = "Open",
 Ascending,
 Descending
 )
 )
)

    No im still getting the same error

  • Compsci28 Profile Picture
    Compsci28 16 on at

    @WarrenBelz I am most likely typing it in wrong. I copy and pasted this from another app that is doing the exact same thing, and working, it is just for a different department. I copied the entire formula over and just changed the list it is connecting to which is identical to the the list from the old formula
