Power Apps Gallery Filter

So in our previous article, we discussed Power Apps gallery control. Before starting this, follow the link and understand the Power Apps gallery control as well as how to create a gallery in Power Apps.

The PowerApps filter function enables you to create and deploy a search box with dynamic data filtration. You can use PowerApps to search through data tables and galleriesfor specific records that meet a set of criteria.

User can filter their data as per their requirements. The syntax for the filter() is:

Filter (Source, logical_test,...)

In our coming examples, we will see how to use this filter() within the Power Apps gallery.

Power Apps Gallery Filter YesNo

Let’s see how to work with the YesNo SharePoint field and filter the data within the Power Apps gallery. In the Power Apps gallery, the yes/no SharePoint fields appear as boolean values i.e., true and false.

We have a SharePoint list named ‘Product‘ with some random data and a ‘YesNo‘ column, i.e., Delivered.

• By using the above Sharepoint list, let’s create a Power Apps gallery. To create this the following steps are:
  • Sign in to the Power Apps with your Office365 User ID.
  • Navigate to ‘+Create’ > Blank app > Blank canvas app > Create.
  • Give the app a name and select a format, whether mobile or tablet. (In our case, we’ll go with the tablet format).
  • Create.
  • On the Power App screen, add a gallery. Go to the ‘Insert’ tab > Gallery > Choose any type. (Ex- Blank vertical gallery).
  • On the right-hand side Properties Panel, click on ‘Layout‘ and select the ‘Title‘.
  • Next, select the data source. Search ‘SharePoint‘ under the connector.
  • Choose your Site address. Then select the list name i.e., Product.
  • Connect.

It will show all the product’s titles on the Power Apps gallery. We have added 2 more labels to the gallery to show the data of the Order date and delivered column. Also, added a header to the gallery, to give it a new look like below. This is what the entire gallery looks like:

• Now we will convert this boolean value from a true or false value into a yes or no value.
• To do this, select the label that holds delivered data and insert the below expression in the ‘Text‘ property:

Text = If(ThisItem.Delivered, "Yes", "No")

The above gallery displays all of the records. Now we insert an expression to filter and display the records that were not delivered. To accomplish this, we will add a check box control to the Power Apps screen.

When the check box is checked, it displays the undeliverable items; when it is unchecked, it displays all of the records. To put this into action, take the following steps:

• Go to the Insert tab > Input > Checkbox. Place it beside the gallery.
• Give a text to the checkbox on the ‘Text‘ property i.e., Show Not Delivered.

• Select the gallery, and insert the below expression in the ‘Items‘ property to filter the data as per the requirement.

Items = Filter(Product, Delivered= CheckBoxControl.Value Or CheckBoxControl.Value = false)

Where,

• Product – The name of the data source
• CheckBoxControl – The name of the check box

Let’s save, publish, and preview the app. We can see the data got filtered when we checked the check box.

This is how to filter the SharePoint Yes/No column in the Power Apps gallery.

Power Apps gallery filter by the current user

In this section, we will see how to filter a gallery by the current user within the Power Apps. Suppose, we have prepared a Power Apps gallery using the SharePoint list named “Projects” with some random data.

• To filter the data by the current user, insert the below expression in the ‘Items‘ property of the gallery.

Items = Filter(Projects, User().FullName = ProjectHandler.DisplayName)

Where,

• Projects – The name of the data source
• ProjectHandler – The name of the SharePoint people column

Since “Sonam Subhadarsini” is the current user, the data was filtered to reflect this user. This is how to filter the data by the current user within the Power Apps gallery.

Power Apps gallery filter with dropdown

Here, we will see how to filter a Power Apps gallery using a dropdown control. For this, we have prepared a Power Apps gallery using a SharePoint list named ‘Bikesales‘ that contains a choice column i.e., Payment mode.

• Let’s add a dropdown control to the Power Apps screen that contains payment mode options. As a result, when the user selects a payment method, the item details will be displayed based on the dropdown selection.
• Go to the Insert > Inputs > Dropdown. Place it on top of the gallery.
• Select the dropdown and insert the below expression in the ‘Items‘ property.

Items = Choices(BikeSales.'Payment Mode')

Where Payment Mode is the name of the SharePoint choice column. By using the above expression, it will show all the choices in the dropdown control.

• Next, select the gallery, and insert the below formula in the ‘Items’ property to filter the data as per the dropdown.

Items = Filter(BikeSales,'Payment Mode'.Value = Payment_Dropdown.Selected.Value)

Where,

• Payment Mode – The name of the SharePoint choice column
• Payment_Dropdown – The name of the dropdown control

When we apply the formula, it will display the filtered data based on the dropdown in the Power Apps gallery. Similarly, if we select the option ‘Advanced Payment‘, then the data will appear based on the dropdown.

This is how to filter the gallery based on dropdown selection on Power Apps.

Power Apps filter gallery by text input

Similarly, here we will see how to filter a gallery by the text input. When the user inserts any text or bike name into the text input, then the data will be filtered as per the text input and filtered data will appear in the Power Apps gallery.

To accomplish this, we will return to the previous Power Apps gallery and use the SharePoint ‘Bike Sales‘ list as the data source, with the following steps:

• On the Power Apps screen, add a text input and place it top of the gallery. Navigate to the Insert tab > Inputs > Text Input.
• Select the gallery, and insert the below expression within the Items property to filter the gallery as per the text input.

Items = Filter(BikeSales,TextInputControl.Text in Title)

Where,

• BikeSales – The name of the SharePoint list
• TextInputControl – The name of the text input control name
• Title – The name of the SharePoint list column

Let’s save, publish and play the app. We can see, that when we insert a text in the text input, the filtered data will be displayed in the Power Apps gallery. Suppose, we will insert ‘Harley‘ in the text input and the will come like below:

• Also, we can see when the text input is empty, it will show all the data in the Power Apps gallery like below.

This is how to filter the Power Apps gallery by text input.

Power Apps gallery filter combo box

In this section, we’ll look at how to use a combo box to filter a Power Apps gallery. When a user selects an item or items from the combo box, the items in the Power Apps gallery are filtered, and the gallery only displays the filtered items.

Let’s take the previous Power Apps gallery that contains the SharePoint ‘BikeSales’ list to implement this requirement. To enforce our requirement, the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, add a combo box control and place it on top of the gallery. Navigate to the ‘Insert’ tab > Inputs > Combo box.
• Select the combo box control and insert the below expression into the items property.

Items = Choices(BikeSales.'Payment Mode')

Where,

• BikeSales – Then name of the data source.
• Payment Mode – The name of the SharePoint choice column.

• To filter the gallery as per the combo box selecting item(s), select the gallery and insert the below expression on the ‘Items‘ property of the gallery.

Items = Filter(BikeSales,'Payment Mode'.Value in ComboBoxControl.SelectedItems.Value)

Where,

• ‘Payment Mode’. Value– To specify the choice column need to use ‘.Value’.
• ComboBoxControl-The name of the combo box control

In the above gallery, we can see the item got filtered as per the combo box selection. Let’s save, publish, and preview the app.

Select multiple items in the combo box control, such as Instant Payment and Advance Payment. We can see the filtered data below:

This is how to filter a Gallery using a Combo Box in Power Apps.

Power Apps filter gallery by date

Let us see how to filter a Power Apps gallery by date. We are going to use the previous Power Apps gallery where we have added another SharePoint Date column like below:

Now we’ll filter the above gallery by date, which means it’ll only show data whose sold date is less than today’s date. Because the current date is 8/5/2022, it will only display data whose sold date is earlier than today.

To do this, insert the below expression into the ‘Items‘ property of the Power Apps gallery.

Items = Filter(BikeSales, SoldDate < Date(2022,8,5))

Where,

• BikeSales – The name of the SharePoint data source list
• SoldDate – The name of the SharePoint date column

Once the formula is applied to the gallery, it will instantly filter the data as per the date. This is how to filter a powerapps gallery by date.

Power Apps filter gallery by date range

Here, we will see how to filter a Power Apps gallery by a particular date range. Suppose, we have a SharePoint list named ‘Product‘ that has 2 date columns such as Order Date and delivery date.

Now, we will create a Power Apps gallery using that SharePoint list so that we can use this gallery to filter it by date range.

Let’s filter this by date range, which means that when a user selects specific date ranges from order date to delivery date, the data will be filtered according to those dates.

To do this, the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps, Let’s insert a date picker into the screen and place it beside the gallery. By default, it will show the current date.
• Go to the ‘Insert’ tab > Input > Date picker > Select it.

• Select the gallery and insert the below formula on the ‘Items‘ property.

Items = Filter(Product, OrderDate = OrderDatePicker.SelectedDate)

Where,

• Product – The name of the SharePoint data source
• OrderDate – The name of the SharePoint date column
• OrderDatePicker – The name of the date picker input

• Similarly, insert another date picker into the screen. This date picker will be used to insert the delivery date.

• Again, select the gallery control and insert the below expression to filter the gallery by the given date range. Select the gallery and insert the expression in the ‘Items‘ property.

Items = Filter(Product, OrderDate >= OrderDatePicker.SelectedDate && DeliverDate<= DeliverDatePicker.SelectedDate)

Where,

• DeliverDate – The name of the second date column of the SharePoint list
• DeliverDatePicker – The second date picker name

Let’s save, publish, and preview the app. Then insert any dates on both the date pickers and we can see the gallery will be filtered as per the date range. Suppose, we have chosen the date from 7/18/2022 to 7/22/2022. The item will appear as below.

Power Apps filter gallery by month or Power Apps filter gallery by radio button

Here, we will see how to filter a gallery by a selective month on Power Apps. Let us take the previous gallery to implement this requirement. As per the requirement, when the user selects any option or month from the radio button, then it will filter the data on the Power Apps gallery and show the filtered data as per the choice.

To do this, the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, add a radio button and place it beside the gallery.
• Select the radio button and insert the month names in the ‘Items‘ property like below. So that the month’s name will appear on the radio button.

Items = ["Jun", "Jul", "Aug","Sep"]

• Next, select the gallery and insert the below expression in the ‘Items‘ property to filter the date as per the month.

Items = Filter(vendors,Text(Date,"[$-en-US]mmm")=Text(RadioMonth.SelectedText.Value,"[$-en-US]mmm"))

Where,

• Vendors – The name of the SharePoint data source list
• Date – The name of the SharePoint date column name
• RadioMonth – The name of the radio control.

Now, save, publish, and play the app. We can see when we select any month from the radio control it will filter the data in the Power Apps gallery. Suppose, we have chosen the month as ‘Aug‘ then the data will come like below:

Similarly, if we select ‘Sep‘, it will display a blank gallery because there is no data in the date column for the month of ‘Sep‘.

Power Apps filter gallery by the date picker

In this section, we will see how to filter a Power Apps gallery using a date picker. When, the user, selects any date from the date picker, it will filter the record in the Power Apps gallery and show the filtered data as per the selected date.

We are going to use the previous gallery to implement this need, and the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, add a date picker and place it near the gallery. We can see, that it will display the current date.
• Next, select the gallery and insert the below expression in the Items property to filter the data.

Items = Filter(vendors, Date = DatePicker1.SelectedDate)

Now, save, publish, and play the app. Select any date as per your choice from the date picker and click on ok. Suppose we have selected ‘8/1/2022’ and we can see it will show the filtered data in the Power Apps gallery like below:

Power Apps filter gallery with multiple dropdowns

Here, we will see how to filter a gallery with multiple dropdowns in Power Apps. Suppose, when the user selects data from the multiple dropdowns, they will be filtered as well as appear in the Power Apps gallery.

Take the previous Power Apps gallery as an example, where we created a Power Apps gallery with the SharePoint ‘Bike Sales’ list as the data source. The steps that follow are:

• Add 2 dropdowns to the Power Apps screen and place them just above in the Power Apps gallery.
• From them, select one dropdown and insert the below code to show the bike name within the dropdown list.

Items = ["Thunder360","Harley-Davidson","Enfield 350"]

• Similarly, select another dropdown and insert the below expression that will allow the user to choose the color of the bike. As it is a SharePoint choice column, so the code will be:

Items = Choices(BikeSales.Color)

Where,

• BikeSales-The name of the SharePoint list or data source
• Color: The choice column of the SharePoint list.

• Then, select the gallery and insert the below expression in the ‘Items‘ property to filter the Power Apps gallery.

Items = Filter(BikeSales, Title = Dropdown_Title.SelectedText.Value, Color.Value = Dropdown_Color.Selected.Value)

Where,

• Title– The name of the SharePoint column.
• Dropdown_Title, Dropdown_Color– The name of the dropdown controls.
• Color.Value– As the color is a choice column so it is specified as ‘Color.Value‘.

Let’s save, publish, and play it in preview mode. We can see that when we select data from both dropdowns, the filtered data will appear in the Power Apps gallery. For example, we have selected the bike name as “Harley-Davidson” and the color as “Black“. Then the data will come in like below:

This is how to filter a gallery with multiple dropdowns in Power Apps.

Power Apps gallery filter with a button or button OnSelect

Here, we will see how to filter a gallery with a button control on Power Apps. Suppose we have prepared a Power Apps gallery by using the SharePoint data source i.e. Vendors list.

Now, with a single button click, we will filter this gallery. Assume the user wants to see only items that have been delivered. To do this, the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, add a button to the screen and place it near the gallery.
• Rename the button as’ Delivered‘.
• Select the button and insert the below expression in the ‘OnSelect‘ property to filter the data with a single tap.

OnSelect = UpdateContext({VarFilter:Filter(vendors,Status.Value = "Delivered")})

Where,

• VarFilter – The name of the update context variable.
• Vendors – The name of the SharePoint data source.
• Status – The name of the SharePoint choice column.

• Next, select the gallery and insert the variable name in the Items property.

Items = VarFilter

Now, save, publish and play the app in preview mode. We can see when the button is clicked, the data will be filtered and it will show only the items that have been delivered.

This is how to filter a gallery with a button click on Power Apps.

Power Apps filter gallery with multiple buttons

The above example shows how to filter a gallery with a single button tap. However, this section shows how to filter a Power Apps gallery with multiple buttons. That is when a user clicks a button, the gallery filters and displays the filtered data based on the button clicked.

Let’s take the previous Power App gallery to implement this and the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, add four button controls and place them beside the gallery.
• Rename the buttons as per the Sharepoint choice column’s options such as: Delivered, Declined, Will update soon, and All.

• Select the ‘Delivered‘ button and insert the below expression into the ‘OnSelect‘ property.

OnSelect = Set(VarStatus, "Delivered")

Where VarStatus is the name of the variable.

• Similarly, select the ‘Declined‘ button and insert the below expression into the ‘OnSelect‘ property.

OnSelect = Set(VarStatus, "Declined")

• Again, insert the below expressions in the ‘OnSelect‘ property of the ‘Will update soon‘ and ‘All‘ buttons, respectively.

OnSelect = Set(VarStatus, "Will update soon")

OnSelect = Set(VarStatus, "All")

• Next, select the gallery and insert the below formula in the Items property to filter the gallery as per the button clicked.

Items = Filter(vendors, If(VarStatus = "All" || IsBlank(VarStatus),true,VarStatus = "Delivered", Status.Value = "Delivered",VarStatus = "Declined", Status.Value = "Declined",VarStatus = "Will update soon", Status.Value = "Will update soon"))

Where,

• Vendors-The name of the SharePoint data source.
• Status.Value-The name of the SharePoint choice column.

Now, save, publish, and play the app in preview mode. When we click on any button, we can see the data got filtered as per the button clicked.

Suppose, we have clicked the ‘Declined’ button. We can see only those items will come whose status is equal to declined.

If we clicked on the ‘All’ button, we can see all the items will be displayed in the Power Apps gallery.

This is how to filter the gallery with buttons within the powerapps.

Power Apps gallery filter contains()

There are various built-in functions and operators available in the Power Apps canvas gallery. However, developers and consultants with prior programming experience are familiar with some functions that may be missing from Canvas apps. And one such function is contains().

But there are the in and exactin operators that perform the same function as contains(). For example, let’s use these functions to filter only those items containing a specific text.

We are going to use the previous Power Apps gallery that used the SharePoint ‘Project’ list.

Now, we will filter the above gallery to only show the items that contain ‘Power Apps‘ in their respective ‘Project name’. To do this, the following steps are:

• Select the gallery.
• Insert the below expression in the ‘Items’ property.

Items = Filter(Projects, "Power Apps" in Title)

Where,

• Projects – The name of the SharePoint data source.
• Power Apps – The specified name to filter
• in – The name of the operator
• Title – The name of the SharePoint column.

Once the formula is applied to the Power Apps gallery, we can see it will filter the gallery as per the expression. That means it only shows only those items that contain ‘Power Apps‘ in their Title.

This is how to do power apps gallery filter contains().

Power Apps filter gallery startswith

Here we will see how to filter a Power Apps gallery using the startswith(). The StartsWith() function determines whether one text string starts withanother.

Let’s take the above gallery by using the startswith(). Assume that when a user enters text into the search bar, the gallery is filtered based on the text if the gallery item begins with the given text. To do this, the following steps are:

• Insert a text input to the screen and place it just above the gallery. Also, you can add a search icon to the text input.

• Select the gallery and insert the below expression in the Items property.

Items = Filter(Projects,StartsWith(Title, SearchText.Text))

Where,

• Projects – The name of the SharePoint data source
• Title – The name of the Sharepoint column
• SearchText – The name of the Text input.

Now save, publish, and play the app. Let’s insert any text into the search box. Suppose we insert a text as ‘Request‘. We can see that it will display a blank gallery as no data starts with Request.

Again, if we will insert ‘Power Apps‘ in the search bar, we can see the data will appear which are starts with ‘Power Apps’.

This is how to filter a PowerApps gallery using Startswith().

Power Apps gallery filters multiple conditions or criteria

This section will look at how to filter a Power Apps gallery based on multiple conditions or criteria. We will also use multiple text inputs to fulfill this requirement.

We will create a gallery using a SharePoint list in accordance with the requirements (ex: product list). We’ll put two text inputs and one drop-down control in that gallery. When a user enters data into those controls, the gallery is filtered based on the information entered.

To do this, the following steps are:

• We have created a Power Apps gallery on the Power Apps screen using the SharePoint list as a data source.

Where,

• Color.Value, ‘Payment Mode’.Value – As it is a choice column, so it comes as ‘.Value’
• Color_ComboBox, Payment_Mode_ComboBox – The name of the combo box control

Now, save, publish and play the app. Let’s select the data in both combo boxes and see the result. For example, we have choose teh color as ‘Red‘ and payment mode as ‘Advance Payment‘.

This is how to filter a gallery using multiple combo box.

Power Apps filter gallery does not equal

Here we will see how to filter a Power Apps gallery based on what does not equal a specific value. We are going to use a previous Power Apps gallery where we have used the SharePoint ‘Bike Sales‘ list.

From the above gallery, now we will filter the items whose payment mode is not equal to “Instant Payment”. Let’s implement this requirement and the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, select the gallery.
• Insert the below expression in the ‘Items’ property of the gallery.

Items = Filter(BikeSales, 'Payment Mode'.Value <> "Instant Payment")

Where,

• BikeSales – The name of the SharePoint data source.
• Payment Mode.Value – The name of the SharePoint Choice column name.
• <> – The not equal symbol.

Once the formula is applied to the Power Apps gallery, let’s save, publish, and play the app in preview mode. We can see it will filter the gallery like below:

This is how to filter Power Apps gallery items that do not equal a specific item.

Power Apps filter gallery if blank

Here we will see how to filter a gallery that shows all the blank items of the contained data source. For this, we have prepared a SharePoint data source where some fields are blank.

Let’s create a PowerApps gallery using the above SharePoint list.

To filter the gallery by blank items, insert the below expression in the Items property of the gallery.

Items = Filter(BikeSales,'Payment Mode'.Value = Blank())

Where,

• BikeSales-The name of the SharePoint list
• Payment Mode. Value-The choice column of the Sharepoint list

Once the formula is applied to the Power Apps gallery, let’s save, publish, and play the app in Preview mode. We can see it filters the gallery and display only the items that are blank in the data source.

This is how to filter the blank items in the Power Apps gallery.

Power Apps filter gallery shows all

Here, we will see how to filter a gallery that shows all the items in Power Apps. That means when the user selects the ‘All‘ option from the dropdown list, it will show all the items on the Power Apps gallery; otherwise, it will filter the gallery as per the selecting options from the dropdown.

To do this, the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, we have created a gallery using a sample SharePoint list like the below:

• Add a dropdown control to the Power Apps screen and place it near the gallery.
• Select the dropdown and insert the below expression in the items of the dropdown control, it will show all the choices of the payment mode.

items = Choices(BikeSales.'Payment Mode')

Where Payment Mode is the name of the choice column of the SharePoint list.

• Next, set the below expression in the gallery’s items property to filter the gallery as per the dropdown selection.

Items = Filter(BikeSales,'Payment Mode'.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Value)

• Now we want to add the ‘All‘ option in the dropdown. To do this, select the screen where the gallery is placed and then insert the below expression in the OnVisible property of the screen.

OnVisible = ClearCollect(collectPayment,{result:"All"}); Collect(collectPayment,Distinct(BikeSales,'Payment Mode'.Value));

• Now, go to the Dropdown’s Items property and update the value to the collection variable as collectPayment.
• Select the gallery and insert the below expression on the Items property.

Items = If(Dropdown1.Selected.result = "All", BikeSales, Filter(BikeSales,'Payment Mode'.Value = Dropdown1.Selected.Result))

Where Dropdown1 is the name of the dropdown.

Now, save, publish, and play the app in preview mode. When we select the “All“ option from the dropdown option, it will show all the items below:

Similarly, if we select another option, the gallery will display the filtered data based on our selection.

Power Apps filter gallery unique value or distinct filter

Here we will see how to create a distinct filter for a Power Apps gallery. Let us use the previous gallery that contains the SharePoint ‘BikeSales’ list. When the user selects any unique value from the dropdown it will filter the gallery. To do this, the following steps are:

• On teh Power Apps screen, we have added a dropdown control and placed it just near the gallery.
• Now, select the Screen and insert the below expression in the OnVisible property of the Screen. That will create a collection on the gallery and hold the distinct or unique values of the title field of the SharePoint list.

OnVisible= ClearCollect(colFilter, Distinct(BikeSales.Title,Title).Result)

Where,

• ColFilter- The name of the collection
• BikeSales- The name of the SharePoint data source
• Title – The name of the SharePoint column name

• Next, insert the variable name in the dropdown’s items property. It will show all the options in the dropdown control.

Items = ColFilter

• To filter the gallery, select gallery and insert the below expression in the ‘Items’ property.

Items = Filter(BikeSales, Title = TitleDropdown.SelectedText.Value)

where TitleDropdown is the name of the dropdown control.

Let’s save, publish, and play the app. We can see this when we select any option from the dropdown, it will filter the gallery as per the selection option.

This is how to create a distinct filter within the Power Apps gallery.

Power Apps filter gallery not empty or hide items

We’ve already seen how to filter a gallery with blank items and how to display items that include blank items. Now we’ll look at how to filter the gallery items that aren’t empty.

Suppose, we have prepared a Power Apps gallery using a SharePoint list that contains some blank values like the below:

Let’s filter the above gallery by ‘not empty‘ so that it will show only those items that are not empty as well as hide the empty items too.

To do this, select the gallery and set the below expression in the gallery’s items property.

Items = Filter(BikeSales,Qty <> Blank())

Where Bikesales is the name of the SharePoint list and Qty is the name of the SharePoint column name. Once the formula is applied, save and publish the app. We can see it hides the empty items and only shows the items that are not empty.

This is how to hide the blank items and show the items that are not empty in the PowerApps gallery.

Power Apps filter gallery by another gallery

Here, we will see how to filter a gallery by using another gallery in Power Apps. Suppose, we have 2 SharePoint lists named Vendors and Vendors Code like below:

• Vendors list

• Vendors code

Let’s build Power apps galleries by using the above Sharepoint lists. When the user selects any items from the ‘Vendors code‘, it will filter the items in the ‘vendors’ gallery and display the filtered items as per the selecting option within the gallery. To implement this, the following steps are:

• First, we need to build 2 galleries on the Power Apps using the above SharePoint lists respectively.

• Select the second gallery where the vendors’ data source is placed and set the below expression in the items property.

Items = Filter(vendors,VCode.Value=VendorCodesGallery.Selected.VendorCode)

Where,

• Vendors: The name of the SharePoint data source
• VCode.Value:The name of the SharePoint choice column
• VendorCodesGallery: The name of the second gallery where only vendor codes are placed.
• VendorCode: The name of the SharePoint column.

• To identify the selected item on the first gallery (where only codes are placed), select the gallery and insert the below formula in the Template fill property.

TemplateFill = If(ThisItem.IsSelected,LightCyan,AntiqueWhite)

Now, save, publish, and preview the app. Suppose, we have selected ‘DF147‘ on the first gallery and we can see the filtered items will appear as below:

This is how to filter a gallery based on another gallery within Power Apps.

Power Apps filter gallery with search

Here, we will see how to use a filter function with a search function. That means we want to put both filters() and search() together.

Suppose, we have prepared a gallery using the SharePoint list where we have inserted the below function in the Items property of the gallery to filter teh gallery by a specific ID.

Items = Filter(BikeSales, BikeID = 360)

Where,

• BikeSales: The name of the SharePoint data source
• BikeID: The name of the number column of the SharePoint list

But wealso need to include a search function so that users can find specific numbers while the app is retrieving data from a data source.

To meet this requirement, we must provide a text column rather than a number column because the search() function expects a text type value. We will use AddColumn() to provide a text column to meet this requirement.

• Let’s insert a text input to the Power Apps screen and place it just above the gallery.
• Set the visible property of the text input as false or set the toggle off in the visible property.
• Select the gallery and insert the below expression in the Items property.

Items = Search(AddColumns(Filter(BikeSales, BikeID = 360), "TextBikeID",Text(BikeID)), TextInput1.Text, "TextBikeID")

Where,

• TextBikeID – The name of the new column
• Text(BikeID) – To convert the number into text
• TextInput1 – The name of the text input.

Once the formula is applied we can see the filtered data will appear within the gallery like below:

This is how to filter a Power Apps gallery with search().

Power Apps filter gallery multiple check box

Here, we will see how to filter a gallery using multiple checkboxes. That means when the user selects multiple choices via check boxes, the gallery will be filtered as per the choices.

We are going to use the previous Power Apps gallery to implement this. The following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, we have prepared a Power Apps gallery using the SharePoint list (ex-Bike sales).
• As we want to filter the gallery as per the payment mode, we will add 3 check box controls to the screen and place them near the gallery.
• Select each check box and enter the text ‘Instant Payment, Advance Payment, or Installment Payment‘ in the text property respectively.

• To filter the gallery as per the check box selection, insert the below formula in the items property of the gallery.

Items = Filter(BikeSales,If(InstantCheckbox.Value,'Payment Mode'.Value = "Instant Payment") || If(AdvanceCheckbox.Value,'Payment Mode'.Value = "Advance Payment") || If(InstallmentCheckbox.Value,'Payment Mode'.Value = "Installment Payment"))

Where,

• BikeSales-The name of the data source
• InstantCheckbox, AdvanceCheckbox, InstallmentCheckbox-The name of the check box controls
• Payment Mode.Value: The choice column of the SharePoint list.

Let’s save, publish, and play the app. Suppose we have checked the first check box, i.e., Instant Payment, and the gallery will appear like below:

Similarly, if we select both Instant Payment and Advance Payment, then the gallery will be like the below:

This is how to filter a gallery with an if statement or use multiple checkboxes.

Power Apps filter gallery by field value

Here, we will see how to filter a gallery by field value. We are going to use the previous Power Apps gallery that contains a SharePoint list.

Now, we will filter the above whose VCode field value is equal to DF147 or AC123. To do this, select the gallery and insert the below expression in the Items property.

Items = Filter(vendors, VCode.Value = "AC123" Or VCode.Value = "DF147")

Where VCode.Value is the name of teh choice column of the SharePoint list. Once the formula is applied to the Power Apps gallery, we can see it will appear only the filtered items as per the field value.

This is how to filter a Power Apps gallery by field value or column.

Power Apps filter gallery by People Picker

Here, we will see how to filter a Power Apps gallery by the People picker column. Suppose, we have prepared a Power Apps gallery using a SharePoint list that contains a people picker column i.e., ProjectHandler.

Let’s filter the above gallery by People Picker which means we want to show only those data where the project handler is “Sonam Subhadarsini“.

To do this, insert the below formula in the items property of the gallery.

Items = Filter(Projects, ProjectHandler.DisplayName = "Sonam Subhadarsini")

Where,

• Projects – The name of teh data source
• ProjectHandler.DisplayName – It retrieves the display name of the people picker column (i.e., ProjectHandler)

Once the formula is applied, we can see it will filter the data like the below:

This is how to filter a Power Apps gallery by people picker.

Power Apps filter gallery by id

Here, we will see how to filter a Power Apps gallery by using an ID. We are going to use the previous Power Apps gallery that contains the SharePoint list i.e., Bike Sales.

Let’s filter this above gallery by id i.e., Bike ID. To do this, the following steps are:

• On the Power Apps screen, add a dropdown control and place it near the gallery.
• Select the dropdown control and insert the below expression. As a result, the dropdown will hold the bike id, as well as the user, can select the id from that dropdown control.

Items = Distinct(BikeSales,BikeID)

• To filter the gallery by ID, insert the below expression in the items property of the gallery.

Items = Filter(BikeSales, BikeID = BikeIDDropdown.Selected.Result)

Where BikeIDDropdown is the name of the dropdown control.

• Let’s save, publish, and play the app. We can see when we select any option from the dropdown it will reflect on the gallery. Suppose, we have selected the ID as 470, then the gallery will appear like below:

This is how to filter a Power Apps gallery by ID.
