Filter Gallery by Multiple Controls 1 Dropdown, 1 Combo and 1 toggle

[MH3]

Hi, 

I have a Gallery based on SQL DataSource and currently I am filtering the data based on the date selected in the DatePicker Control.

But I want to filter by Customer ComboBox, Project DropDown and a toggle which shows that the task was Billable "true" = Billable tasks or "false" = Not Billable tasks.

I think I am stuck in creating the formula on any of the combinations. 


AnyHelp?

Hi,

You can add && conditions in your filter formula in Items property in the gallery.

If(Toggle1.value=true,Filter(DataSource, column1value = combobox.selected.value && column2value = dropdown.selected.value && column3value="Billable"),Filter(DataSource, column1value = combobox.selected.value && column2value = dropdown.selected.value && column3value="NonBillable"))

Thanks for your reply @Suchitra1996 ,

But things are not happening like this.

My Current formula for Gallery item is working on DatePicker and it shows the data based on the date selected.

Sort(If(var1&&var2,Filter(CollectTest1,UserId=MyUserEmail),Filter(CollectTest1,UserId=MyUserEmail,(DateAsInt>=Value(Text(StartDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd")))&&(DateAsInt<=Value(Text(EndDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd"))))),DateAsInt,Ascending)

Now, I want to filter the gallery based on these controls irrespective of the date picker controls.
Like I want to see the List of Tasks of a specific customer which is selected in the combo box,
or a Task which is associated with a Project. etc

MySQL DataSource of Gallery is TimeSheet Table

Which have fields Task,Date, Project ID, Customer ID, Billable (indicator) 1 for True, 0 for false in sql.

 Project Table:  have Id and Descr Fields.

Customer Table: have vc_code (represented as Customer ID in timeSheet Table), vc_name (as Customer Name) and address and etc fields.

Please consider changing your Formula to the following:

Sort
    With({_startDate: Value(Text(StartDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd")),
          _endDate: Value(Text(EndDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd"))},
      
          Filter(CollectTest1, 
              UserId=MyUserEmail &&
              (var1 && var2 && DateAsInt >= _startDate && DateAsInt <= _endDate) &&
              (IsBlank(customerCombo.Selected.'Customer ID') || 'Customer ID' = customerCombo.Selected.'Customer ID') &&
              (IsBlank(projectCombo.Selected.'Project ID') || 'Project ID' = projectCombo.Selected.'Project ID') &&
              ((checkboxBillable.Value && Billable=1)  || Billable = 0)
          )
    ),
    DateAsInt
)

I am unclear on your use of var1 and var2, but I'd consider getting rid of them and adjusting the formula based on the direct condition that you are setting them for.

Also, not sure what your Items properties are for your Project and Customer comboboxes (nor if you even need a combobox - unless you need multiple selections (which this formula does not adjust for) or searching) so, the Selected.xxxx  may need to be adjusted based on the items.

I hope this is helpful for you.

@RandyHayes  Thanks for your help.

But, I used your formula and changed it accordingly but the gallery is not showing up anything when I select the dates, Customer and even project.

CustomerCombo :
Items: 

Sort(Distinct('[dbo].[Vw_Customers]',vc_name),Result)

DisplayFields: 

["Result"]

ProjectCombo:
Items: 

Sort(Distinct('[dbo].[TsProject]',Descr),Result)

DisplayFields: 

["Result"]

and the Gallery is not showing any data, if there are no combobox selected, not even if the dates are selected by default.

Any Help??

@MH3 

What is your formula on the Items?

I am more concerned, however, with the comboboxes.

In the Customer combobox - you ONLY have the vc_name column value - will this match to 'Customer ID'?

And for Project, you ONLY have the Descr column value - will this match to Project ID?

[MH3]

@RandyHayes I make you understand

I have a SQL Transaction Table which is named as TimeSheet
Table Fields:
1) Task  - Varchar
2) Date - Varchar
3) Customer - Int
4) Project  - Int
5) Billable - Int (stored as 0 or 1 )
6) UserId

Customer Table:
Table Fields:
1) vc_code - Integer (which is Customer Id in Customer Table and that ID is called as Foreign Key in TimeSheet table as Customer)
2) vc_name - Varchar (Which is Customer name)
3) Address - Varchar
4) Phone
and etc.

Project Table:
Table Fields:
1) Id - Int 
2) Descr - (Project Name) 

That's my SQL table Structure, actually I am matching Customer Text from CustomerCombo with Customer Number in TimeSheet which is in my Gallery Filter

Understood.  My point is this - you are trying to filter based on the value of your comboboxes and your comboboxes do NOT contain any value that will relate to your Filter.

You are using the Distinct function in both of them.  Distinct returns ONLY one value...the value of the column you are doing distinct on.

So, if you need vc_code for your filter and you are doing distinct on vc_name, then you will not have the value you need in order to filter.

You will need to change the Items property on the CustomerCombo to:

Sort(
    AddColumns(
        GroupBy('[dbo].[Vw_Customers]',
            "vc_name",
            "_recs"
        ),
        "_customerID", First(_recs).vc_code
    ),
    vc_name
)

And set the DisplayFields to: ["vc_name"]

Your ProjectCombo Items needs to be:

Sort(
    AddColumns(
        GroupBy('[dbo].[TsProject]',
            "Descr",
            "_recs"
        ),
        "_projectID", First(_recs).Id
    ),
    Descr
)

And set the DisplayFields to ["Descr"]

Then, your filter formula is the following:

Sort
    With({_startDate: Value(Text(StartDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd")),
          _endDate: Value(Text(EndDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd"))},
      
          Filter(CollectTest1, 
              UserId=MyUserEmail &&
              (var1 && var2 && DateAsInt >= _startDate && DateAsInt <= _endDate) &&
              (IsBlank(CustomerCombo.Selected._customerID) || Customer = CustomerCombo.Selected._customerID) &&
              (IsBlank(ProjectCombo.Selected._projectID) || Project = ProjectCombo.Selected._projectID) &&
              ((checkboxBillable.Value && Billable=1)  || Billable = 0)
          )
    ),
    DateAsInt
)

I believe I have matched all the names properly based on what you provided, but correct as needed.

There is one that I do not see referenced anywhere - DateAsInt.   I did not see that in any of your schemas.

@RandyHayes  Thanks your Formula worked.
But there is some problem. 
if I want to Filter the Gallery based on Customer Name Selection, the gallery is not showing any data.

What's wrong?

[RandyHayes]

@MH3 

I suspect in this scenario that this is because of the Dates.  There is nothing selected in your dates and with the current formula, it relies on there to be dates - there is no defaulting of dates.

I am still unclear on what var1 and var2 are in your formula and I left them in there to be consistent with your original formula.

If you want the ability to find items even when the dates are empty, then this should do it:

Sort
    With({_startDate: Value(Text(StartDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd")),
          _endDate: Value(Text(EndDate.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd"))},
      
          Filter(CollectTest1, 
              UserId=MyUserEmail &&
              (
               (IsBlank(StartDate.SelectedDate) || IsBlank(EndDate.SelectedDate)) ||
               (var1 && var2 && DateAsInt >= _startDate && DateAsInt <= _endDate)
              ) &&
              (IsBlank(CustomerCombo.Selected._customerID) || Customer = CustomerCombo.Selected._customerID) &&
              (IsBlank(ProjectCombo.Selected._projectID) || Project = ProjectCombo.Selected._projectID) &&
              ((checkboxBillable.Value && Billable=1)  || Billable = 0)
          )
    ),
    DateAsInt
)

Now, just like the cobobox values, this is going to depend on anything you might be doing in the Default of the datepickers.  I would make them Blank()
