Filter SharePoint Document Content

[Keyvan]

Hello All,

I am trying to creat a PowerApps for filtering document library based on the file extension , 

My function not working on Checkbox and can not filter documents based on files extenstion.

Any advise, Please.

Checkbox Value is True or False

Do something like this instead

If(Checkbox1.Value,Filter(Documents, extension.Text="docx"),If(Checkbox2.Value,Filter(Documents, extension.Text="xlsx"),false  ) )

You may need to substitute "false" with something else above - such as a statement that shows everything without filters.

Does this help?

Also for checking for both boxes checked scenario OR just one checked try this:

If(Checkbox1.Value && Checkbox2.Value,Filter(Documents, extension.Text="docx" || extension.Text="xlsx"), If(Checkbox1.Value,Filter(Documents, extension.Text="docx"),If(Checkbox2.Value,Filter(Documents, extension.Text="xlsx"),false  ) ) )

Thank you @poweractivate  but it is not working yet.

I think my filter has a issue. 

I'm getting extension value by this : Last(Split(ThisItem.'File name with extension',".")).Result 

But apparently for some reason extension.Text="docx" not working.

Hi @Keyvan ,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to filter your SP Library records based on specific file extension name (which is related to Checkbox)?

Based on the formula you provided, I think you have something misunderstanding with the Filter function in PowerApps. When you use Filter function to filter records in a data source, you should specify the column from the data source as Filter column to compare with a specific value.

On your side, the extension.Text is from the Gallery itself rather than the Documents data source. Please consider modify your formula as below:

Filter(
       Documents,
       Last(Split('File name with extension', ".")).Result = "docx"
)

In addition, you could not do the Filter operation in the Checkbox, then want the filtered result to be displayed within the Gallery (Is it not supported in PowerApps).

Please consider set the Items property of the Gallery to following formula:

Filter(
       Documents,
       If(
          WordCheckbox.Value,
          Last(Split('File name with extension',".")).Result = "docx",
          true
       ),
       If(
          ExcelCheckbox.Value,
          Last(Split('File name with extension',".")).Result = "xlsx",
          true
       )
)

Note: I assume that you check only one checkbox each time in your app.

If you also want to check two Checkbox controls at same time, please modify above formula as below:

If(
   WordCheckbox.Value && ExcelCheckbox.Value,
   Filter(Documents, Last(Split('File name with extension',".")).Result = "docx" || Last(Split('File name with extension',".")).Result = "xlsx"),
   Filter(
       Documents,
       If(
          WordCheckbox.Value,
          Last(Split('File name with extension',".")).Result = "docx",
          true
       ),
       If(
          ExcelCheckbox.Value,
          Last(Split('File name with extension',".")).Result = "xlsx",
          true
       )
   )
)

Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
