Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Filter(SharePointList, Email = User().Email)
The User() function returns a record with the current user's details, including Email. Option A is incorrect because the Search function is used for searching text across multiple columns, not for filtering by exact match. Option B is incorrect because CurrentUser is not a valid function; the correct syntax is User().Email. Option D is incorrect because Lookup returns a single record, not a filtered set of records.
