Creating a Filter Pane for Dual-Field Search

YanivZi — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 12:31:08 GMT

I aim to integrate the search functionality for two specific fields within the same row. The dataset, illustrated in the current table, necessitates the establishment of a filter pane, possibly implemented as a master item. This filter should selectively display rows where either F1 or F2 (or both) contain the value "2."

Person	F1	F2
John	1	2
Jane	1	2
Mike	2	1
Sony	3	1
Lore	2	2

The desired outcome in the table results should reflect this criterion, as illustrated in the current table display.

Person	F1	F2
John	1	2
Jane	1	2
Mike	2	1
Lore	2	2

If I understand the requirement, this seems to be a simple if() scenario?

If(F1=2 or F2=2,'Only2') as FilterField

I meant that the filter pane is already populated with the content of F1 and F2 and has values 1,2,3 but when i select "2" from the list then the table will give me the value from F1 or F2 or both

In that case, you would need to load both F1 and F2 into the same field.

Load * From YourTable;

Load Person, F1 as FilterField From YourTable;

Concatenate

Load Person, F2 as FilterField From YourTable;
