Create a custom filter for a page to be filtered

Posted on by Tina Menezes 2,576

Hi all.

I want to create a custom field for Amount where users can enter for eg: >1000, <1000,>=1200, etc. and the page should filter and give the respective records like if >1000 is entered then only the records having amount >1000 are displayed. This is already present in standard nav tables as shown below:

I want to do the same functionality  in my customized page. Can anyone suggest how this can be done?

    How about using "Advance Filter' option to filter your requirement , then you can save it as your own

    It works well.

    Try the below code:-

    CustLedgerEntryTable.SETFILTER("Remaining Amount","Balance due text");

    Hi,

    I have checked that. It is not working. I have created a text field 'Balance due text'. So the user will enter say >1000 as input for this field. Now with this input I want to filter customer ledger entries with 'Remaining Amount' > 1000. 'Balance due text' value can be anything like >10000, <=300000, <5000, etc. So if I enter the below expression in my code:

    CustLedgerEntryTable.SETFILTER("Remaining Amount",'%1',"Balance due text");

    The above line will give me error because Remaining amount is decimal field and Balance due text is text field. If I convert Balance due text to decimal using evaluate it again gives error because symbols like >,<,=, etc. cannot be converted to decimal. This is causing an issue and hence I am not able to filter values.

    You may define those fields as Text type.  And when you filter, you need to add an Inverted Comma (') on both the sides of the values.

    E.g: while filtering '>1000'

    Yes. The user will enter values like these and the records should get filtered and be displayed accordingly.

    Do you mean that the custom field will hold values like ">1000", ">=1200" etc.?
