Hi

I can see that:

- Author.DisplayName in 'Created By' & the last filter

showed ! in blue. That means nothing wrong with Formula but with Delegation Limitation.

When you filter with Created By, I wish to know where is Author.DisplayName comes from?

Just guessing the comparision may not be from compatible source.

May you confirm.

Anyway just my wild guess.

Hi @hpkeong,

You are right!  I was using Author as a function when in reality I should have been using the User() function.  Author is actually the column name in my Sharepoint list.  Then I justed used the ".Email" property to get them into comparable formats.  Therefore, I was able to filter by the current user by fixing the syntax in bold below.  Thanks again for your help!  I wouldn't have been able to solve that one on my own 🙂

If(IsBlank(TextSearchBox1.Text),Sort(Filter('Gift Compliance',User().Email in Author.Email),CustomerName),Filter('Gift Compliance',TextSearchBox1.Text in 'CustomerName'))

Hi @ramirezp

Glad that you have found by yourself the very tiny mistake.

I am just sharing my experience.

Have a nice day and Happy CNY.

Thanks @hpkeong! Happy CNY to you too!

for my case it worked, so

Filter(Vendor, StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1.Text ) || StartsWith(Author.Email, TextSearchBox1.Text ) || StartsWith(Identification, TextSearchBox1.Text ) )
