Filter Gallery Concat by Dropdown Selection from Separate Collection

Greetings community,

 

I'm trying to use a drop down to let users filter a project list sourced from a SharePoint List.   The trick is, the i need to display name derived from a Concat to do it.  The goal is to have a user come in, find their name and only see projects assigned to them.

Hi @JasonOR ,

You should only need this

Filter(
   DGTProjects,
   Dropdown1.Selected.mail in 'Task Assigned To'.Email
)

Hi @JasonOR ,

Are you saying you have lists in both the drop-down and data source of email addresses separated by ";" and you want to find any email address in the top drop-down that exisst in any email address in the List field ? If so, what are the names of the List, List field and drop-down and what is the Items of the drop-down ?

Hi Warren,

Two data sources:  1)  Dropdown is a collection based on a SharePoint group membership.  2) SharePoint list of projects ('ODGT Portfolio Tracker') populates the Gallery.  I want to allow a user to select a display name in the dropdown and have the gallery filtered accordingly.  The gallery doesn't actually have the display name for the "Assign to" data point, because I need multiple entries which creates delegation issues.  I do wonder if Collection is necessary, or if the dropdown could be populated by the Concat from the same 'ODGT Portfolio Tracker' data sources as the gallery.

Hi @JasonOR ,

OK - I need to still properly understand the structure - so can I assume

  • The Items of the drop-down contains a List of Person fields displaying the DisplayName, but has the Email available in the Table
  • The control is a Drop-down  or single selection Combo Box.
  • The field in the data source is a list of email addresses separated by ";"
  • You want to search this field filtering any records containing the email selected in the drop down.

If so, you still have a Delegation issue as the in filter is necessary, but I can provide some code.

Thanks for your patience and help!  

1) Yes, for the drop-down the Items include all element of the persons fields, including Email.  

2)  Conceptually, yes the drop-down is the control.  I haven't been able to add any code the that affect though.  

3)  The data source is a list of projects.  To render the email address (Task Assigned To field) I needed to Concat.

4) Yes, the only items I'd like to show up after using the dropdown are those with the selected email.  

 

I tried this on the Gallery Items and it does apply the filter, but doesn't display any entries with more than a single assignment.      

Filter(ODGTProjects,Concat('Task Assigned To',Email & "")=Dropdown1.Selected.mail)

Thanks again,

J

No problem @JasonOR ,

Just remember for the future, we cannot see your data or app, so the more relevant detail you include, the easier it is to solve. This blog of mine may be useful to you.
