logic issue that might be solved in a simpler way

Posted on by dalacarelia_196 648

Hello, I have a logic issue that might be solved in a simpler way.

Currently, I have a form with various response options through radio buttons. The field in the SharePoint list is a text field.

I retrieve the table containing my list choices:

ClearCollect(Positivt;
{Indexnr:"1";Urval:"Alltid"};
{Indexnr:"2";Urval:"Ofta"};
{Indexnr:"3";Urval:"Ibland"};
{Indexnr:"4";Urval:"Sällan"};
{Indexnr:"5";Urval:"Aldrig"};
{Indexnr:"6";Urval:"Vet inte"}
)

The text box is named = txtFragaVal.Text
The code is LookUp(gyelevenkatfraga; Indexordning = Parent.DisplayName).Radioval

This code ensures that the correct radio button selection is displayed in the question.

If(txtFragaVal.Text = "PositivStamma.Urval"; PositivStamma.Urval;
If(txtFragaVal.Text = "Positivt.Urval"; Positivt.Urval;
If(txtFragaVal.Text = "Negativt.Urval"; Negativt.Urval;
If(txtFragaVal.Text = "PositivtBemot.Urval"; PositivtBemot.Urval;
If(txtFragaVal.Text = "PositivtHjalp.Urval"; PositivtHjalp.Urval;
If(txtFragaVal.Text = "PositivHallamed.Urval"; PositivHallamed.Urval;
If(txtFragaVal.Text = "PostivtPaverka.Urval"; PostivtPaverka.Urval;
If(txtFragaVal.Text = "PositivStamma.Urval"; PositivStamma.Urval
)))))))))

Can I combine and directly integrate this into my radio button choices in PowerApps, instead of using an IF statement for each question and an additional text box?

    Hi @dalacarelia_196 ,

     

    I'm convinced there's a simpler way to do what you want to do, just it's not clear what you want to do. Therefore it's hard to give a response to your question.

     

    Can you please clarify what you want to achieve and for any formulas given, indicate for which control and property they are used?

    Hello and thank you for willing to help me.

    I have built a database where all response options are stored, along with all the questions.

    In my form, I want to replace the texts in the radio buttons with those stored in my database.

    The question texts themselves work, but the radio buttons won't function without me creating a boolean question.

    My gut feeling is that the text of the radio buttons is a table. In this case, a radio button cannot call the field in the Items property (Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value) and display values coming from my collection with the same name "Negativt.Urval." I only get that value in a radio button, not the actual choices in the database.

    My workaround is to use an IF statement for each answer option:

    If(txtFragaVal.Text ="Negativt.Urval";Negativt.Urval ;

    This works to display the correct text inside the radio buttons.

    Hello @dalacarelia_196 ,

     

    Is there really a need for the textbox "txtFragaVal"? You can directly call it in the "Items" of your radiobuttons.

     

    With({_text:LookUp(gyelevenkatfraga; Indexordning = Parent.DisplayName).Radioval};
If(_text = "PositivStamma.Urval"; PositivStamma.Urval;
If(_text = "Positivt.Urval"; Positivt.Urval;
If(_text = "Negativt.Urval"; Negativt.Urval;
If(_text = "PositivtBemot.Urval"; PositivtBemot.Urval;
If(_text = "PositivtHjalp.Urval"; PositivtHjalp.Urval;
If(_text = "PositivHallamed.Urval"; PositivHallamed.Urval;
If(_text = "PostivtPaverka.Urval"; PostivtPaverka.Urval;
If(_text = "PositivStamma.Urval"; PositivStamma.Urval
))))))))))

     

    Also, you can use "Switch()" instead of cascading "If()" to make it easier to read.

     

    With({_text:LookUp(gyelevenkatfraga; Indexordning = Parent.DisplayName).Radioval};
Switch(_text;
"PositivStamma.Urval"; PositivStamma.Urval;
"Positivt.Urval"; Positivt.Urval;
"Negativt.Urval"; Negativt.Urval;
"PositivtBemot.Urval"; PositivtBemot.Urval;
"PositivtHjalp.Urval"; PositivtHjalp.Urval;
"PositivHallamed.Urval"; PositivHallamed.Urval;
"PostivtPaverka.Urval"; PostivtPaverka.Urval;
"PositivStamma.Urval"; PositivStamma.Urval
))

     

    Finally, you said you store your radio values in a database. Is it the collection made by the constant table with "ClearCollect()"? In that case, you can probably build one single collection to store all your values like this:

     

    ClearCollect(cltRadioButtons:
 {
 Radioval:"Positivt.Urval";
 RadioValues:
 [{Indexnr:"1";Urval:"Alltid"};
 {Indexnr:"2";Urval:"Ofta"};
 {Indexnr:"3";Urval:"Ibland"};
 {Indexnr:"4";Urval:"Sällan"};
 {Indexnr:"5";Urval:"Aldrig"};
 {Indexnr:"6";Urval:"Vet inte"}]
 };
 ...
)

Then retrieve the radio texts with a single "Filter()" instead of the "Switch()" :

With({_text:LookUp(gyelevenkatfraga; Indexordning = Parent.DisplayName).Radioval};
 Filter(cltRadioButtons;Radioval = _text).Urval
)

     

    To make it more flexible, you could even create a SharePoint list or a dataverse table to store those values like this:

     

    Radioval Indexnr Urval
    Positivt.Urval 1 Alltid
    Positivt.Urval 2 Ofta
    ... ... ...

     

    I hope my suggestions were clear and helpful.

    RadioValues:[
    {Indexnr:1; Urval:"Mycket lätt"};
    {Indexnr:2; Urval:"Ganska lätt"};
    {Indexnr:3; Urval:"Ganska svårt"};
    {Indexnr:4; Urval:"Mycket svårt"};
    {Indexnr:5; Urval:"Vet inte"}
    ]
    };
    {Radioval:"PositivHallamed.Urval";
    RadioValues:[
    {Indexnr:1; Urval:"Helt och hållet"};
    {Indexnr:2; Urval:"Till stor del"};
    {Indexnr:3; Urval:"Till viss del"};
    {Indexnr:4; Urval:"Inte alls"};
    {Indexnr:5; Urval:"Vet inte"}
    ]
    };
    {Radioval:"PositivStamma.Urval";
    RadioValues:[
    {Indexnr:1; Urval:"Stämer helt och hållet"};
    {Indexnr:2; Urval:"Stämer ganska bra"};
    {Indexnr:3; Urval:"Stämer ganska dåligt"};
    {Indexnr:4; Urval:"Stämer inte alls"};
    {Indexnr:5; Urval:"Vet inte"}
    ]
    };
    {Radioval:"PostivtPaverka.Urval";
    RadioValues:[
    {Indexnr:1; Urval:"Väldigt mycket"};
    {Indexnr:2; Urval:"Ganska mycket"};
    {Indexnr:3; Urval:"Ganska lite"};
    {Indexnr:4; Urval:"Väldigt lite/ Inte alls"};
    {Indexnr:5; Urval:"Vet inte"}
    ]
    };
    {Radioval:"KonFraga.Urval";
    RadioValues:[
    {Indexnr:1; Urval:"Kvinna"};
    {Indexnr:2; Urval:"Man"};
    {Indexnr:3; Urval:"Har annan könsidentitet"};
    {Indexnr:4; Urval:"Vill inte ange"}
    ]
    }
    )

    The collection is working
