Hi I'm very new to Power Apps. I have looked to see if my question has been answered previously and I can't seem to see that it has, but this could be due to being a novice and not entirely understanding the posts I have been googling, so please do forgive me, I only write this post as a last resort.

Would it be possible to have a label that states if Leave has been approved by looking at DataCardValue17, if it is blank, then the label should state "Leave not approved" (in red text) and if it has a date in it it states "Leave approved" in green text.

I've been doing some initial attempts (and not even tried to get to the font colour part yet) and my remedial (mainly Access experience has got me trying something like this:

on the dropdown on the left I've selected the Text element (apologies if these are the wrong terms)

=IF(IsBlank(DataCardValue17.Text=true,"Leave not approved","Leave approved")

this throws an error and I'm not sure why. Sorry if I'm really off, I realise I could be trying something that's not even possible.

Many thanks and I look forward to your responses.

Hi @BenBennett321 ,

You are missing a bracket and you do not need true

If( IsBlank(DataCardValue17.Text), "Leave not approved", "Leave approved" )

A couple of things, it looks like you haven't closed your IsBlank() function (closing parenthesis isn't in your formula). Also, side note, you don't have to include =true in your If() statement.
Could you provide the error message on the control?
