I'm trying to do the following inside a datacard in a gallery. I also attempted to add an Icon with conditional display but can't get the icon control inside the datacard.

What I want to do is display ThumbsUp or ThumbsDown depending on the underlying yes/no in the SP list. I thought this would be easy but I cannot for the life of me figure out the syntax.

Here are the things I've tried already within one big code block. The top works and displays "true" or "false".

ThisItem.Completed

//If(ThisItem.Completed, ":thumbsup:", "Nope")

//If(ThisItem.Completed, Icon.ThumbsUpFilled, "Nope")

/*If(
 ThisItem.Completed,
 Icon.ThumbsUp,
 Icon.ThumbsDown
)*/

The three commented attempts above all result in the correct evaluation but show the text within the logic and not the Icon itself.

Re: Display icon in a label within gallery

I figured it out. Seems you can't do it in the Tree View. Or at least I couldn't.
Solution was to click on the Gallery in the Canvas, click the Pencil icon to Edit the Gallery, then Insert.

Re: Display icon in a label within gallery

Both of those things will work if I put an Icon outside of the gallery item. But that doesn't really solve my problem.
I want a visual indicator inside the ThisItem based on the underlying value.

When I add "Completed" as a Field, it automatically adds it as a Label and populates it with true or false which obviously corresponds to Yes/No in the SP list.

Instead of displaying true or false, I want to convert that into a visual.

I have this kind of thing working for a chevron indicating sorting. But that's outside of a gallery.

What I'm trying to figure out how to do is have an icon inside of a gallery that's dependent on the source data.

@DCHammer ,

You can't include an icon in a label. Use an icon control for that over the label control and put it as is suitable for you.

The code:

If( ThisItem.Completed, Icon.ThumbsUp, Icon.ThumbsDown )

should work.

Hope it helps !

Re: Display icon in a label within gallery

Hi @DCHammer

You need to use the Icon property of the icon control to specify which icon to display, not the Text property. The Text property is for labels, not icons.

So, your formula for the icon control should look like this:
Icon = If(ThisItem.Completed, Icon.ThumbsUp, Icon.ThumbsDown)

Visible = If(ThisItem.Completed, true, false)

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊
