Default filtered gallery view with a drop down filter

[JamesP106]

Hoping this one is fairly straight forward.

I have a gallery view of a sharepoint list of tasks.

Each list item has both a status and a discipline attribute.

I want my powerapp to, by default, show a filtered view of my List, removing all status "Complete" tasks. I also want a drop down filter that my user can select a discipline.

I know how to filter a gallery view -> Filter(SPListName,Status.Value = "Assigned")

and

I know how to use a dropdown -> If(Dropdown1.Selected.Result ="All", SPListName, Filter(SPListName, Discipline.Value=Dropdown1.Selected.Result))

But I don't know how to use them together. Any help would be very welcome.

Hi @JamesP106 

Please tell me if this is the logic you are after.

Filter(
   SPListName,
   If(
      Dropdown1.Selected.Result ="All",
      Status.Value <> "Assigned", 
      Discipline.Value=Dropdown1.Selected.Result &&
      Status.Value <> "Assigned"
   )
)

Hi @WarrenBelz

Thanks for your help. That didn't seem to work. I may have confused matters with my examples.

My gallery is currently subject to this filter when the Discipline drop down is selected.

If(Dropdown1.Selected.Result ="All", SPListName, Filter(SPListName, Discipline.Value=Dropdown1.Selected.Result))

 But as a default I need the gallery to not include a task which has been marked at "Assigned"

Filter(SPListName,Status.Value <> "Assigned")

I need these two expression joined as one.

Solved it.

@WarrenBelz  your approach was on the money just needed the "=" to be "<>" and its running perfectly.

Filter(SPListName,If(Dropdown1.Selected.Result ="All", Status.Value <> "Assigned", Discipline.Value=Dropdown1.Selected.Result && Status.Value <> "Assigned"))

Thanks for your help. If you want to modify your original post I'll mark as the solution.

@JamesP106 ,

Done - I was more focusing on syntax, however you have equals in your post. Never mind fixed now.

@WarrenBelz 

Hoping to build on the above solution.

I'd like to filter out both "Assigned" AND "Completed" tasks. I've tried a few different options but am not getting far.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Hi @JamesP106 ,

The below will work, but the not <> filter is not Delegable. What status values are left with these two out? I actually use the same principal on a big list, but filter on the ones I am looking for (not missing) and then it is completely Delegable.

Filter(
   SPListName,
   If(
      Dropdown1.Selected.Result ="All", 
      Status.Value <> "Assigned" && Status.Value <> "Completed", 
      Discipline.Value=Dropdown1.Selected.Result && 
      Status.Value <> "Assigned" && Status.Value <> "Completed"
   )
)

Thanks @WarrenBelz . 

Delegable is good.

The status values remaining now would be "Open" and "On Hold".

A better approach to my problem is very welcome.

Thanks

Thanks @JamesP106 ,

All you need is

Filter(
   SPListName,
   If(
      Dropdown1.Selected.Result ="All", 
      Status.Value = "Open" || Status.Value <> "On Hold", 
      Discipline.Value=Dropdown1.Selected.Result && 
      Status.Value = "Open" || Status.Value <> "On Hold"
   )
)
