Mobile edit form item filter

[Dsull]

I have a page (Handoff) in a mobile app that can be navigated to from two different locations. 

The first navigation source is from a main menu and configures the page to allow the user to select DENumber field and change the FullName field.  This function changes the owner of a piece of equipment.  DENumber is the primary column of EquipmentV2S Table and FullName is a lookup column of EquipmetV2S Tablle with values in FullName column of EmployeeList Table.

The second navigation source is from a button on gallery list with datasource from EquipmentV2S filtered by FullName = current username.  The button sets a variable to Thisitem.DENumber, which i use as the input to the item filter on the Handoff page.  I also use a boolean variable which is set to True when navigating from the gallery list to configure the DENumber data field to 'view'.  This locks in the item that is being edited allowing the user to only change the Fullname of that item.

I cannot get the if statement and filters to work correctly to sort the items for the Handoff page.  Refer below image for if statement and error generated.

Any advice?

Hi @Dsull ,

Try this

Filter(
   EquipmentV2S,
   DENumber=
   If(
      Handoffview,
      HandoffDamageItem,
      "09743M"
   )
)

Thanks for the quick reponse.  I tried your filter formula and still get the error below;

@Dsull ,

What type of field is DENumber and what is Handoffview (a Boolean Variable?) and HandoffDamageItem (a Text Variable?)

[Dsull]

DENumber is text

Handoffview is Boolean

HandoffDamageItem is text

@Dsull ,

This is why it is always good to post your code in Text and explain where it is rather than trying to blow up and read a picture. For the Item of a Form, you need

LookUp(
   EquipmentV2S,
   DENumber=
   If(
      Handoffview,
      HandoffDamageItem,
      "09999"
   )
)

Thanks.  Apologies for not posting code, this is only my second question, so i will take note for the next time.

The lookup function worked.
