Calculate the sum of data from Sharepoint, filtering by users' email

Hi All, 

 

I am struggling with the formula below. 

There are two columns in the Sharepoint list: "Data Collection", "Ranking" and "Calculate Ranking"

"Ranking" stores a number, and when it meets a specific condition, times 1, and the result will show in "Calculate Ranking"

So "Ranking" is a number field, and "Calculate Ranking" is a calculated field.  The data type of both columns is "Number"

 

I want to add a text field in Power App that calculates the total "Calculate Ranking" of the user filling in the form. 

Here is the formula:

Sum(Filter('Data Collection', 'Modified By'.Email = User().Email, 'Calculated Ranking'))

 

However, it is not working with the below warning:

Expected Number. We expect a number at this point in the formula. 

 

It would be appreciated if you can solve this. Thanks a lot.

    Hi @Quincy_Chan 


    Can you please, post the actual Code and where the error is.

    Also, doing things on Calculated columns are usually a no no to make work properly.

     

    For a just check... and it would prove what I'm telling you. Remove 'Calculated Ranking' and put Ranking, which you said is just a number.

     

    See if the Sum error goes away. As thats where I assume the error is.


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You
