I created a PowerApp to allow employees to enter in a time allocation. I would like to ensure that on clicking the submit button on the "Edit Form" that if [Allocation 1] > 0 than [Fund 1] > 0.
Sample Data:
Allocation 1 = 25
Fund =
Allocation 2 = 40
Fund 2 = 3000
Allocation 3 = 30
Fund 3 = 2000
Try wrapping an IF statement around the SubmitForm function.
If([Allocation 1] > 0 && [Fund 1] > 0, SubmitForm([EditForm]), false)
I tried your argument and I was on the same track except I realized that the fileds are text and not numbers. How would I rewrite the argument to indicate that if([Allocation1] is not blank and [Fund1] is blank than false?
This should return false when [Allocation1] is not blank and [Fund1] is blank
Not(Not(IsBlank([Allocation1])) && IsBlank([Fund1]))
This is close; however, for some reason even though I set the [Fund1] field default as "" the IsBlank command is reporting that the field contains data "true" even though I set it as "" and there is not data in Fund1. Any thoughts?
I even tried to set the default of the input text field [Allocation1] to "Blank()" and IsBlank([Allocation1)] is still reporting false. I just do not get this. . .
Are you testing this in designer? If so, look at the Default Mode property of the Form and if it says Edit change it to New and test again.
I made the suggested change and "IsBlank([Allocation1])" is still reporting "false". The field shows not data and default value is set to "Blank()"
Remove the square brackets, so it looks like this:
IsBlank(Allocation1)
That seriously worked!!!!
In matter of fact, instead of creating 20 nested "if than loops" to the submit icon, I simply used the following formula on the "Fund1" Data Card / Required Field to "If(IsBlank(Allocation1), false, true)". This way is there is no data in "Allocation1" than the "Fund1" requirement is false. If their is data in the "Allocation1" field than the "Fund1" requirement is set to true. This is a much cleaner solution and much easier to program.
I appreciate the team effort in helping me solve my issue.

It looks like the square brackets turned field value into a single-column table and IsBlank sees that table as a value.
