Button to filter field values less than another field

GMonty — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 08:32:20 GMT

Hello

I'm creating a dashboard and I want to include a button than when pressed filters to all the weeks where the 'cost' field is less than a corresponding 'target' field.

My table looks something like this:

Week | Cost | Target

1 | £20 | £25

2 | £50 | £70

3 | £100 | £55

4 | £95 | £2

So the button would filter to weeks 3 and 4

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

You can create a helper field with an IF condition to identify the weeks where Cost < Target. For example:

IF(Cost < Target, 'Yes', 'No') as IS_COST_LESS

Then you can use this field in your app to create a filter button that selects only the “Yes” values. You can add it either in the load script or directly in the design, depending on your setup.

Hope this helped.

Amazing, thank you, this seems so obvious now!
