Searching a table to return records with any one of a few criteria

[jbjb247]

Hi all 🙂

I'm asking PowerApps to:

• Look at Table 1
• Return records with SW1 in them
• From the postcode (zip code) column

Search(Table1,"SW1","Postcode")

✅This works, giving me all the SW1 records.

What I need is for it to return (for example) SW1, SW2 or SW3 - so a bigger list containing any records from a few different postcodes (basically this kind of thing) - it's the bit inside of the stars that I'm struggling to sort out.

Search(Table1,   ***  "SW1"  OR  "SW2"  OR  "SW3"  ***  ,"Postcode")

... I've tried playing around with OR statements with not much luck.

Any help much appreciated thanks 🙂

The SEARCH function cannot be delegated in SharePoint so you might want to use a different function instead.  This will allow you to search Table1 beyond 2,000 records.

I would suggest a combination of FILTER + STARTSWITH instead which can be delegated.  It would look something like this.

Filter(
    Table1, 
    StartsWith("SW1","Postcode")
    Or StartsWith("SW2","Postcode")
    Or StartsWith("SW3","Postcode")
)
