Anyone know how I could add a filter by user input in this gallery items property?
This is my current code:
Share
ReportSort(Distinct('Safety Training', 'Employee Name'), Result, Ascending)
Thank you!
I used this in my scenario and worked great for me! Now I feel like a rock star or high end software engineer 😅
If this is useful to anyone, this how I used it:
All responses (
Answers (
Sort(
Distinct(
Filter('Part Designations','Tune:SetListtxt'.Value = "Yes"
),
ThisRecord.Tune.Value
),
Result
)
although I see a delegation warning at the 'Tune:SetListtxt'.Value = area.
Thanks Warren.
Hi @WarrenBelz,
Whoops, sorry!
Currently, the user is being presented with a sorted, distinct-ized gallery. When they click an item in the gallery, it loads that info to a data table.
I basically want to add a text_input box that will filter the gallery by employee name.
Your code does work! Thank you 😊
But now that I see it working, I have a new question...
Is there a way to display sorted and distinct results in the gallery before a user sends an input? Currently, the gallery is blank until you type the majority of a name... I was hoping to just have the list displayed in alphabetical order, updating once you type in the textbox
^ Oops, fixed this. Had some sneaky text in the input_box ^
Which brings me to one last inquiry... It seems I need to type the entire employee name for the filter function to work. For that reason, I think I would be better off with a search function, or startswith, rather than filter. Do you know how I could combine one of those functions with sort and distinct? I tried dropping them in place of the filter function, but of course that isn't good enough for PowerApps 🙃
^ Fixed as well
Sort(
Distinct(
Filter(
'Safety Training', StartsWith('Employee Name', TextInput1.Text)
),
'Employee Name'
),
Result
)
Thanks again @WarrenBelz!
Hi @aebara ,
You did not say what the user was using to do this, but it would go in here
Sort(
Distinct(
Filter(
'Safety Training',
FieldName = UserInput
),
'Employee Name'
),
Result
)
