Hello,

I am having a error using If function to change the colour of rectangle based on the value of status.

The value of Status is showing with number in dataverse. How can I convert to it? 

 

Thanks

    @Wah22 what you should do is to add a text label (I've named it lblStatus) to the first item in your gallery and set the text to ThisItem.'Status (cr900_status)'. You can then turn off the visibility.

     

    Then for the rectangle you want to change the color of use the following formula:

     
    If(
        lblStatus.Text = "Approved",
        Color.Green,
        lblStatus.Text = "Rejected",
        Color.Red,
        Color.Purple
    )
