Multiple Choices and Visibility not working

Posted on by Sarahneedinghelp

I have 3 choices in my Combo box. I am having issues with if i choice "Single" to only show those boxes. If i choice "Three", only three. If i choice Subdivision, Only Subdivision shows.

I have 3 hoices : Single Phase, Three Phase and Subdivision. With the formula that i am using, it is telling me that i have an unexpected Character and i don't know what i am missing. In the picture below is what i have in my formula, the Three Phase and Subdivision doesn't go away when i pick Single, etc. I am needing to have Three and Subdivision to go away when I pick Single. Then when i pick Three, Single and Subdivision go away and only show Three.

If(DataCardValue152.Selected.Value="Single Phase", UpdateContext({Single:true}), If(DataCardValue152.Selected.Value="Three Phase", UpdateContext({Three:true}), If(DataCardValue152.Selected.Value="Subdivision", UpdateContext({Sub:true}))

Please Help

Thank you

I would recommend you something like this...

Put that to the visible for example:
DataCardValue152.Selected.Value in ['Single Phase','Three Phase']

The thing's in the [] you could define on each phase and you don't need a variable like updatecontext

I don't understand. Don't I need to tell the dropdown something and then the Visibility of the boxes?

You are making it more complicated that it needs to be. You don't need UpDateContext or If() to accomplish your goal:

Simply set the Visible property of the box to DataCardValue152.Selected.Value="Single Phase"

or DataCardValue152.Selected.Value="Three Phase" for example. No If() is required because the equation reduces to either true or false by itself. If you wanted it to be visible for both Single Phase and Three Phase you could set the visibility of the box to:

DataCardValue152.Selected.Value = "Single Phase" || "Three Phase"
