Handle empty combobox when filtering Galleries in Power Apps

When you are using a combobox to filter a gallery based on the selection, you can check if the selection is blank or not, and depending on that, show only the records that match the combobox selection or show all records. This approach is commonly used in Power Apps consulting to enhance user experience and improve data filtering. In broader digital transformation projects, organizations often complement this with business applications consulting services to ensure scalable and efficient app design.
