Why do I need to use Text() function to succesfully filter?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 234

I'm filtering a custom table to show just the rows (Tasks) which are related to the current selected project.

This works

 

Filter(Tasks,Text(AsType('Client (Regarding)','Projects / Services').Project)=Text(selectedProject.Project)

 

 

This (with the Text() function removed from both sides) doesn't

 

Filter(Tasks,AsType('Client (Regarding)','Projects / Services').Project=selectedProject.Project

 

 

Anyone any ideas why? The reason it's an issue is that with the Text function I get a delegation warning. Any thoughts or solutions apprecited.

    Hi @mrpowergage ,

     

    What's the data type of project?

    And If your data volume is less than 2000, you don’t have to worry about delegation.

    I directly compared guid instead of text.
