I'm having another issue with my Filter formula. I have a gallery and I added a control (an icon) called FilterToggle which has a simple toggle action -- the OnSelect says

UpdateContext({FilterToggle:!FilterToggle})

This appears to work correctly as I have the color of the icon toggle on and off, based on an IF statement in the Color formula.

On my Gallery, my Items formula is set to:

If('FilterToggle'=false,
    {SortByColumns(
        Search(
            'Inbound RM Inspection',
            SearchBox.Text,
            "Title"
        ),
        "Title"
        )
    },
    {SortByColumns(
        Search(
            Filter('Inbound RM Inspection','INSP-NOW'=YES),
            SearchBox.Text,
            "Title"
        ),
        "Title"
        )
    }
)

The purpose is to include all Items if the FilterToggle is False and to include only those items who have INSP-NOW set to YES if FilterToggle is True.

Now all I get is an Invalid Argument Type.

Prior to adding this filter component, my Items formula was a just:

SortByColumns(
    Search(
        'Inbound RM Inspection',
        SearchBox.Text,
        "Title"
    ),
    "Title"
)

and it worked fine, so it's either the way I have the IF statement formatted, or the Filter command.

Thanks, gpence

The variable shouldn't be in quotes, and the curly braces aren't needed. try:

If(FilterToggle=false,
SortByColumns(
    Search(
        'Inbound RM Inspection',
        SearchBox.Text,
        "Title"
    ),
    "Title"
    )
,
SortByColumns(
    Search(
        Filter('Inbound RM Inspection','INSP-NOW'.Value="YES"),
        SearchBox.Text,
        "Title"
    ),
    "Title"
    )
)

Edit: added .Value, as this is a choice field.

  • Well, Mike... that took away the red error flags, but now I get no data displayed -- either with the filter variable FilterToggle true or false! When I check the AppChecker it says the ItemNumberGallery.Items has an Invalid argument type... @Mike2500

  • The invalid argument type is probably the =YES, which should be in double-quotes: ="YES"

  • That didn't work either... and I notice an oddity which I can't explain. When I edit the Items formula, I expand the edit box down, but I noticed the Format Text and Remove Formatting options at the bottom are grayed out. If I copy and paste the previous formula (without the IF statement) then they are enabled. As someone's who worked with JS and CFML most recently, these formulas are... finicky.

  • The disabled format text button is caused by invalid syntax. For example, if I remove the last parenthesis, the same thing happens to me. One more item, if INSP-NOW is a sharepoint yes/no field, then it should actually be =true, not yes, though that shouldn't cause the other issues.

  • Yeah, it's a Choice field and I tried YES/NO, True/False and 0/1 and still no success yet.
