Hi, could you help me? I can't filter my results to only those with the "open" value in the "status" column. I've tried several ways and nothing works. Thanks.

    Hi, happy to help - filtering a gallery by a status value is a common one, so let's get it working.

    The basic filter

    The Filter function returns every record where your formula evaluates to true, so for a status column you'd point your gallery's Items to something like:

    Filter(YourList, Status = "ABIERTO")

    Filter evaluates the formula for each record and keeps the ones that come back true, and you can combine multiple conditions (they're joined with And). (Filter, Search, and LookUp functions)

    If that returns nothing, check these (usually the culprit)

    • Choice column: If "Status" is a SharePoint Choice column rather than plain text, you can't compare it to a string directly - you compare the .Value, e.g. Filter(YourList, Status.Value = "ABIERTO").
    • Exact text: A plain text match is case-insensitive but must otherwise match exactly - watch for trailing spaces or accents. You can also use the in operator for a substring match, e.g. Filter(YourList, "ABIERTO" in Status).
    • Right value: Make sure you're filtering on the value actually stored ("ABIERTO"), not a display label.

    Tip if you see a delegation warning

    If Studio underlines part of your formula with a delegation warning, the filter may only run over the first set of records rather than the whole list. Sticking to a simple = comparison on a delegable column avoids that. (Filter, Search, and LookUp functions)

    If you can paste the exact formula you're using and confirm whether Status is a Text or Choice column, I can pinpoint it further.

    Please post your data source type (Excel/SharePoint/Dataverse etc), what type of column is Status and what code (in Text) you have attempted. Normally for a Delegable filter, assuming Status is Text
    Filter(
       YourDataSource,
       Status = "Open"
    )
    or if a Choice column
    Filter(
       YourDataSource,
       Status.Value = "Open"
    )
     
    The other issue here (I am guessing a bit) is that if ytou are using European syntax, you need to replace the comma ,  with a semi-colon ; 
    Filter(
       YourDataSource;
       Status.Value = "Open"
    )

    Yes — the most common reason is that Status is a SharePoint Choice column, not plain text, so comparing Status = "ABIERTO" usually won’t work; for SharePoint Choice fields you need to compare Status.Value instead. 
     
    Use this in your gallery Items property.
     
    If you want to show only records with Open / ABIERTO. Filter(YourListName, Status.Value = "ABIERTO") . That is the standard pattern for filtering a gallery by a SharePoint choice column. 

    If your Status column is plain text (not Choice). Then use: Filter(YourListName, Status = "ABIERTO")

    From the screenshot, you have a Search (Buscar) box, so your gallery formula can be: Search(Filter(YourListName, Status.Value = "ABIERTO"),SearchInput1.Text,"Title")

    This filters first by ABIERTO and then searches within the remaining records. Power Apps documentation shows filtering on a gallery through the Items property, and community examples use the same approach with Status.Value = "Open" for SharePoint choice columns. 

    Quick things to verify
    • Make sure the value is exactly "ABIERTO" (same spelling as stored in SharePoint). 
    • Make sure you are writing the formula in the gallery’s Items property, not in a label/text property. 
    • If Power Apps shows a record/object for Status, that confirms it is a Choice column and you should use .Value.
