How to filter based on one of the items in a record column being in another collections record column

[landonjochim]

I have a Variable (varFunction) which has a record column (roles) and a collection of users (colHeritageManagement) who also have a record column (Roles). I want to get a list of the users from colHeritageManagement that's Roles column contains one of the results from Roles column from varFunction.

Below is what I have currently and I cannot seem to get this figured out. I am not getting any errors, but the items in the Gallery are not correct. Seem to have the columns but no data is coming in.

ForAll(varFunction.roles.Result As _role, Filter(colHeritageManagement As _user, _role.Result in _user.Roles.Value))

varFunction Variable: Want to search the collection for any items that Role column contain either "Administrative Tasks" or "Talent Management"

Hi @landonjochim ,

Are you trying to create another collection or filter a gallery?

For a Collection

ClearCollect(
   colFiltered,
   Filter(
      colHeritageManagement,
      Result in varFunction.Roles.Value
   )
)

gallery Items would simply be

Filter(
   colHeritageManagement,
   Result in varFunction.Roles.Value
)

I am filtering a gallery. Couple things from your reply; Result is not a valid identifier where you placed it. Also, varFunction.roles cannot be .Value, but .Result only.

This took me quite awhile and looking at multiple posts. The issue was I kept using a ForAll because I wanted to see if any of the varFunction.roles.Results were inside each colHertiageManagement.Roles.Values. And the ForAll would not return a true/false result to show that user in the Gallery.

The CountIf solved this for me. Here is the post that helped https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Breaking-from-ForAll-loop-or-using-set-insid... 

Here is the working formula:

Filter(colHeritageManagement, If(CountIf(Roles, Value in varFunction.roles.Result)>0,true,false))

@landonjochim ,

I was going off the values you posted when I responded - glad you got it sorted.
