configure a toggle to filter data in a datatable

Buenas tardes, soy nuevo en el mundo de las power apps y estoy haciendo una aplicación sencilla. Quiero saber cómo puedo hacer que un toggle filtre los datos de una tabla de datos según el valor de una columna específica.

 

En este caso tengo una columna llamada: ¿Equipo que devuelvo? Quiero que cuando se active la palanca filtre los datos de la tabla de datos en función de (SÍ, NO u otro valor) de acuerdo con la columna antes mencionada.

 

Estaría usando 2 toggles para poder filtrar en base a 3 valores que tiene dicha tabla.

Hello,

In the Data Table, Items property is where you would put your filters.

For instance.

Lets say you had a table named Tests. In the Table you had the following columns

IsNew: values True / False

IsClosed: values True / False

NumberOfUsers: values Int

 

Toggle 1:

  • ToggleIsNew
  • Default Value: False

Toggle 2:

  • ToggleIsClosed
  • Default Value: False

NumberOfUsers

  • NumberOfUsersTextBox
  • Default Value: 0

Items Property “query”

Filter(Tests, IsNew = ToggleIsNew.Value && IsClosed = ToggleIsClosed.Value && NumberOfUsers = Value(NumberOfUsersTextBox.Text));

Now you can do more advanced things like validate NumberOfUsers is > 0 etc but it depends on what you need.

Hello, good morning, thank you for your response and excuse my ignorance.

But in this case I see that your answer is based on values ​​that for you the logic would be simple but for me a little complicated to understand.

I express my doubt again:

 

* I have a datatable called: Datatable1 connected to its datasource.

Within the tables I have are the following:

* user
* document type
*......
*......
* Equipment returned?

 

* The table (Returned Equipment?) is a selection field in my list, with 3 possible options.

* YEAH
* NO
* Found

 

What I want to do is place 2 toggles, one to only show me the data in datatable1 when it is (YES) or (NO) and the other toggle to show the data when it is (Found).

I would greatly appreciate your patience and help since the little I have learned in PowerApps has been by watching YouTube videos and reusing some of the codes I see to learn.

Good evening again colleagues, I update the thread again now with this question: I tried to carry out the filter in the datatable and then in a gallery using a simple button that will execute the action.

 

button 1: YES
button 2: NO
button 3: Found

Each button wanted it to filter the data from the datatable or the gallery according to the condition (yes, no, found) that is stored in the column: Team_Returned, but no matter how much I use the lookup formula, search or a filter, I can't find it. the proper syntax.

 

nstmaverick_0-1694476832956.png

 

nstmaverick_1-1694476864154.png

 

* With the lookup: LookUp('Audiovisual Loans'; First (DataTable1[Delivered_Equipment.text]) = "YES" )

 

* With ClearCollet: ClearCollect('Audiovisual Loans'; Filter (Gallery3; RETURNED_TEAM = "YES"))

 

I would greatly appreciate your help

Hello,

 

I believe the issue is that you want to do a filter, but you are trying to filter the gallery and or datatable.

 

You need to filter the source and apply that to the Items property of the actual control (Gallery etc). It sounds like your Equipment Returned is a Choice (or it should be) with values Yes, No, Found, so I created the same thing.

 

Here is an example.

I created a very simple table called "New table" and added some fields like the picture.  

I added 2 different Equipment Returned Fields

1. Equipment Returned = a Choice. You can pick Yes, No, or Found

2. Equipment Returned Text = a Text Field. You can type anything but I typed in Yes, Found, No

FLMike_1-1694477801616.png

 

Now I will show you the UI.

1. I added the New tables, table, to the app. Yes I know its a lame name, but thats the name "New tables"

2. I added a Vertical Blank Gallery to the screen

3. I added a dropdown box to the screen, but NOT in the gallery

For the Items property of the DropDown I set it to, and I called it ReturnedStatusCmb 

 

Choices('New tables'.'Equipment Returned')

 

FLMike_2-1694478084540.png

You can see it defaulted to Yes as its the first choice in the list.

 

4.  I set the Data Source for the gallery to "New tables"

Now I setup the screen, BUT I have not configured the filter so you see all the Equipment regardless of the Returned status.

FLMike_4-1694478527562.png

 

5. Now I will click on the Gallery and I will change the Items property to be the following

 

Filter('New tables', 'Equipment Returned' = ReturnedStatusCmb.Selected.Value)

 

When I select the drop down status No, I only see the following

FLMike_5-1694478716858.png

Now this example was using the Choice.

 

If I had to use the Text Field

6. Now I will use the Equipment Returned Text field.

I will change the Items property to leverage the TEXT value of the dropdown versus the Choice value. The Text value already matches what I typed in the Text field so it will work the same.

 

Filter('New tables', 'Equipment Returned Text' = ReturnedStatusCmb.SelectedText.Value)

 

 

Now just like with the choice, but using the Text field instead to filter. I select yes and you can see it works fine.

Good morning, thank you very much for your response and detailed explanation, but I have these errors. Let's see if it is my version or what it could be.

 

I already have the first part placed and anchored to the dropdown as you explain, but when I go to the gallery to configure the formula, I have a syntax error.

nstmaverick_1-1694519093996.png

when I put the formula: Filter('New tables', 'Equipment Returned Text' = ReturnedStatusCmb.SelectedText.Value)

and I do the separation by (,) this gives me the error: unexpected characters, the formula contains "Error" where "ParenClose" is expected

 

When I change the (,) to a (;) the error changes to the following: When I change the (,) to a (;) the error changes to the following: incompatible types for comparison. These types cannot be compared (Record - Text)

 

nstmaverick_2-1694519366436.png

 

 

 

Hello,

 

You would not put a ; that is not correct, what I had you type is correct. However, what you are comparing is a  Record (on the left) and a string on your right.

 

Can you please tell me what items you put in Dropdown1.Selected.Value, because this is how you either read text or choices.

 

Can you please show me and tell me what 'EQUIPO_DEVUELTO' is? Can you take a screen shot of the database column for me so I can see it.

 

Also please take a picture of the Items property in the Dropdown1 because you are mixing types, and please remove the ; and put the , back.

 

Remember, what you are comparing with the = sign must be the same things. Your left side says its a record, so I need to know if its a lookup or a choice. So please take the screen shots and then I can help further

 

Cheers!

I understand, here are the screenshots:

nstmaverick_0-1694527785448.png

Here I send you the data of the list and how it is structured

 

nstmaverick_1-1694527863780.png

 

Dropdown:

nstmaverick_2-1694528097669.png

 

nstmaverick_3-1694528329207.png

 

As you can see in the images, the dropdown is a selector that connects it to the column as you indicated in the previous formula, and above I left you screenshots of how the table and the EQUIPOS_DEVUELTOS column are structured,

 

Hello,

 

I cannot see what you typed originally because it's blocked by the error, I can only see what you tried to fix it with.

 

Please type in and then, if it shows any errors, Copy the whole line, cut it out and paste it back and run it. It is correct if you are using choices. 

 

Filter('Prestamos Audiovisuals', 'EQUIP_DEVUELTO' = Dropdown1.Selected.Value)

 

 

The syntax is correct as in my case.

 

Filter('New tables', 'Equipment Returned' = ReturnedStatusCmb.Selected.Value)

 

 

What you fixed it with is not correct
