Search Filter on multiple SharePoint List columns with various column types

[EJSPoelen]

I created a PowerApps with a Gallery + Search Box that connects to a SharePoint list.

When typing in the Search Box I would like to "Search" through multiple columns, of which some are non-text columns, such as a "Choice" field. This seems rather obvious as SP Lists often consist of non-Text fields.

Is there a way to get this done?

This function doesn't accept non-text Fields:

SortByColumns(Search('SharePointList';SearchTextBox.Text; "Title";"Choicefield");"Title"; If(SortDescending1; Descending; Ascending))

Hi @EJSPoelen ,

You are correct that Search only works on Text fields - try this

SortByColumns(
   Search(
      AddColumns(      
         'SharePointList';
         "MyChoice";
         ChoiceField.Value
      );
      SearchTextBox.Text; 
      "Title";
      "MyChoice"
   );
   "Title"; 
   If(
      SortDescending1; 
      Descending; 
      Ascending
   )
)

Bear in mind that the data structure is in your control - you do may not need Choice fields - I have a blog that may be of use to you.
