Shape to change colour based on dropdown list value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 87

Hello, I'm after some help with getting a circle (shape) to change colour based on the value selected from a dropdown field. 

 

The dropdown has three options, "Red", "Amber" & "Green". 

I'm trying to get a circle within the same card to change colour based on the selected value.

So far, I have tried an IF formula or the SWITCH formula. When using the Switch formula it doesn't appear to bring up any errors, however it doesn't appear to work. 

 

The formula used is;

 

Switch(ThisItem.'Overall Project RAG'.Value,

"Green", Green,

"Amber", Orange,

"Red", Red)

 

Many thanks

    @CorgiMad Use the actual datacardvalue name rather than ThisItem. That should work.
