Filter expression

When filtering data in a Power App, you can use mathematical symbols to setup conditions. But, instead of using symbols, you can also use ‘&’ + letters in a condition. It wasn’t until I had to write some JavaScript for a WordPress plugin that I realized that expressions are formed in a similar way as in the Power Platform.

Examples:

  • &eq: Test whether a field is equal to (=) a constant value
  • &gt: Test whether a field is greater than (>) a constant value
  • &lt: Test whether a field is less than (<) a constant value
  • &le: Test whether a field is less than or equal to (<=) a constant value

If you want to use specific characters in HTML, see character reference names.
