Dropdown Box to HTML

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi Guys,

Fairly new to power apps, I have managed to create a basic app, I am trying to build an app when the users can enter data into a form which can then be emailed out.

I have managed to get this working by using HTLM text box apart from the dropdown boxes i have. When i add the dropdown box name to the HTML box i get an invalid expression.

Extract of the code is below

"<p> Engineers Name: " & Dropdown1.SelectedText

Any help wouuld be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi @hodgson41

Could you try the following to see if that solves your problem?

"<p> Engineers Name: " & Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value

Hi @hodgson41 ,

Based on the formula that you provided, I think there is something wrong with it. The result the Dropdown1.SelectedText formula returned is a record value, but the HtmlText property of the Html Text control is required to provide a Text value.

You could not concatenate a record value with a Text string directly within PowerApps app.

As an alternative solution, please consider modify your formula as below:

"<p> Engineers Name: " & Dropdown1.Selected.Value & ".."

or

"<p> Engineers Name: " & Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value & ".."

Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
