Filtering doesn't work.

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I would like to filter the gallery objects (which are the SQL view) to be filtered based on ListBox selected items.

The ways I tried to do it:

 

Filter('[dbo].[xxx]',Prod = ListBox1.SelectedItems)

This line gives an error: "Invalid argument type"

 

 

When I do simple filtering based on string Filter('[dbo].[xxx]',Prod = "Food") 

It works correctly.

    Somehow it does work when I use "Selected" instead of "SelectedItems" like:

    Filter('[dbo].[xxx]',Prod= ListBox1.Selected.Value)

     

    However it returns data filtered to first selected item (the listbox is a multiselect)

    Do This:

     

    Filter('[dbo].[xxx]',Prod in Concat(ListBox1.SelectedItems,Prod & ","))

     

    Your Listbox has to be set to a datasource for it to work so you could use something like:

     

    Distinct('[dbo].[xxx]',Prod)

    on your list item box

    Could you please explain a bit about the ListBox configuration, specially for the items property, and the Value part?

    Basically, you should be able to filter the Gallery based on the formula below:

    Filter('[dbo].[xxx]',Prod in ListBox1.SelectedItems.FieldName)

    The FieldName is the field configured under the Value part.

     

    Regards,
