Search multiple columns which are text and number

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

 

I want to use the Search() function to limit values in my Gallery. The Gallery Items is set to a Filter. I want the user to be able to search on 3 different fields CustomerName, ID, AlphaID. Name and AlphaID are alphanumeric whereas ID is numeric.

 

Search(Filter(mytable,email = User().email),TextInput.Text,"CustomerName","ID","AlphaID")

 

If I do the above, the "ID" is red underlined because it's a number field and I'm comparing text to it. Is there an easy solution to this, or do I have to use If or Switch statements to check what is entered and then compare to the field?

 

Thanks

Thanks for the explanation @RandyHayes 

 

Still no data...

 

The user is only going to enter either the Customer Number (Title) or the AddressName to find the record in the gallery they're looking for.

 

Should the AND be an OR in this? AND's and OR's always get me mixed up but I think the AND means they both must be true, the OR means one must be true. (?)

 

1) the TextInput must be blank or the AddressName field must match the TextInput

AND

2) the _numVal must be "0" or the Title must equal _numVal

 

 

Should the criteria be:

1. (The TextInput must be blank or the AddressName field must match TextInput)

OR

2. (The TextInput must be blank or Title field must match Text(TextInput))

 

Just not sure how that fits with _numVal...

 

Sorry this is so tricky.

@iwonder 

So, you should be getting All items when the input is empty.

The reason is, the Boolean logic says so by looking at the criteria and completing the results:

     (true || <don't care) && (true || don't care)  - the result of that is true which means the record will be returned.

And thus, this will evaluate to true on every record and thus you will get every record.

 

I see there is an issue with the logic when there is a numeric value in the input.

The formula needs to account for one other thing:

With({_numVal: Text(If(IsNumeric(txtCustomerFilter_1.Text), Value(txtCustomerFilter_1.Text), 0))}, 
    Filter(Customers,
        (IsBlank(txtCustomerFilter_1.Text) || !(_numVal="0") || AddressName = txtCustomerFilter_1.Text) &&
        (_numVal = "0" && !IsBlank(txtCustomerFilter_1.Text) || Title=_numVal)
    )
)    

So now, if TextInput is blank:

    (true || (don't care) || (don't care))  &&

    (true && true || (don't care)) = true (all records)

 

If TextInput is "Hello":

    (false || false || recordDependenent)) &&  

    (true && true || (don't care)) = true for records matching addressName

 

If TextInput is "5":

    (false || true || (don't care)) &&

    (false && true || recordDependent) = true for records matching Title

 

So, this should give you what you are looking for.

Thank you for the explanation, I can follow that much easier.

 

Still no data on blank or if I type in a number or a letter. I know I have customer numbers (Title) that start with 1, but I get no results. I also know I have AddressNames that start with P but I get no results.

 

I also now have delegation errors...

maybe this is not meant to be 🙂

 

Thanks @RandyHayes 

 

@iwonder 

Well hold on a second.  You said "Starts with 1"...none of this formula is based on starts with, it is all based on equals.

Are you looking for a startswith solution or an exact match?

Sorry @RandyHayes you are correct, my bad. I didn't even notice that the new formula I was making (original post) didn't even have StartsWith... I was so focused on trying to make the new format work and get rid of the IF's. 

 

I typed in a full Customer Number (Title) and I got a result. I tested something further down the SharePoint list and it worked... but further down it did not work. Stops working at record 501 which makes sense. My IF statements are able to work past the 500 mark.

 

Do I just stick with what I have?
