Search & Filter Issue with a Gallery

I'm sure I have a simple mistake in the code below but I've played around with all combinations and am coming up blank, maybe it's a brain fart...


I have a gallery that should show all items initially, then as the user searches for items or checks a filter box, the list should only show those items until the filters are reset. With the code below, it shows the full list as it should, but when I click a checkbox, nothing happens in the gallery. Clicking the checkbox updates the isFiltered value in the collection

Search(
    Filter(
        NavigationTest,
        If(
            isFiltered = false,
            true,
            If(
                isFiltered = false,
                "Service",
                true
            )
        )
    ),
    TextInput2_1.Text,
    "Category",
    "Service"
)

          ,1=1
           //Filters
          ,isFiltered=true

Everything looks normal except the logical test of your Filter(). This part:

        If(
            isFiltered = false,
            true,
            If(
                isFiltered = false,
                "Service",
                true
            )
        )

Let's say that isFiltered is equal to true (which I'm assuming means a checkbox is checked). What is the desired result? 

Your assumption is correct. When a checkbox is checked, it sets the isFiltered property to true.

Oncheck: UpdateIf(NavigationTest,Service=ThisItem.Service,{isFiltered:true})
OnUncheck: UpdateIf(NavigationTest,Service=ThisItem.Service,{isFiltered:false})

Here is the desired state:

  • Default - full list of items is shown
  • When the user chooses a checkbox,  only the filtered items are shown
  • When the user searches with the text input, only the filtered items are shown
  • When nothing is checked or there is no search criteria, the full list of items is shown

Try this and see how it goes

Search(
    Filter(
        NavigationTest,
        isFiltered=true
    ),
    TextInput2_1.Text,
    "Category",
    "Service"
)

 

That one doesn't work.

Results:
It starts with a blank gallery instead of the full list. - Incorrect
When I click a checkbox, the gallery populates. - Correct

When searching, it only searches the items that are in the gallery from adding them via checkbox. It should search on the full list and the filtered list. - Incorrect

Could you include a screenshot of your interface? I'm having a hard time visualizing what all is included in this case. It sounds like you may have to set up logic for 4 individual cases; one where no checkbox is selected and there is no search input, one where a checkbox is checked with no search input, and one where there is search input and checkboxes selected, and one where there is only search input.

This may not be the case but I'd have to see the interface to clear that up.

No problem, see below. Had to use some dummy data but it gets the point across.

That worked perfectly, thanks! For my own understanding, can you explain it a little further, specifically the 1=1.

Sure thing!
The initial If() statement is checking to see if there are NOT any entries in NavigationTest that are equal to isFiltered = true. Basically checking the data to see if any filters are applied. In this case, I used IsBlank() to return true/false if the lookup was blank or not (true if the lookup results in nothing, false if the result finds filters).

If true, we want the Filter() logic to be isFiltered = true, which will only show items that are included in the filter.
If false, we don't want any filters. The 1=1 is just the syntax I've always used for this. You could swap that out for anything that is true, including just using 'true'. I'm not sure what all other syntax works there, but I would imagine just about any kind of placeholder would work.
