Portal Filters multiple things Whaaaaaaaat?

Ok, just wondering... If one would like to filter a portal with multiple "Strings" would one use a "If" or a "case" 

 

I am trying to Filter on 3 items and using the "Case" statement I'm only able to achieve 2....... Help !

 

Here's what I have so far

 

 

Case(
InspectionWork::Sample Complete="Complete";"";
InspectionWork::Sample Complete="Revising"
)
 
if I put a 3rd in like (On-Site) ...... it doesn't do its JOB !!
 
 
 
why only 2?
 
:sad:

You haven't put a result in your second case, so FM is seeing the third case as the second result.

 

 

Case(
InspectionWork::Sample Complete="Complete";"";
InspectionWork::Sample Complete="Revising"; "SomeString";
InspectionWork::Sample Complete="On-Site"; "SomeOtherString";
)

    Portal filtering is based on boolean results. From what I have read it seems as though you may be looking to show records with a particular status.

     

    To show records that only display records with a Sample Complete of "Revising" or "On-Site" then try something like:

     

    Sample Complete="Revising" OR Sample Complete="On-Site"

    Actually I'm needing all three Filters

     

    "On-Site"

    "Revision"

    "Complete"

     

    what would it look like?

    Case(
    InspectionWork::Sample Complete="Complete";1;
    InspectionWork::Sample Complete="Revision"; 1 ;
    InspectionWork::Sample Complete="On-Site"; 1
    )

    There's a bunch of ways to do this...this is another

     

    not isEmpty ( FilterValues ( List ( "Revising" ; "On-Site" ; "Complete ) ; Sample Complete ) )
