Hi all, so thanks to helpful people here I know how to change the color of text based on its value, example here:

(Note the 'fill' command). But what if I want multiple If's? So if "Project" red, if "High" blue etc?

In Excel, you would need to nest If statements inside one another. In PowerApps, it works more like the Switch function, so you can just chain conditions and results one after another. This reduces the number of If() and parentheses so it's less confusing.

Try this:

If(TextBox1.Text="Project", Red, TextBox1.Text="High", Blue,
TextBox1.Text="text that you use for identifying", [name of color or RGBA()] )
Chain more lines as needed.

Hi,

I have an app where people have to submit dates of tasks assigned to them. They have this issue that after they submit the date and then go back to list they forget which tasks they have already submitted dates. So is there a way to make name of the tasks that dates are submitted change color in list view? Or is there any other solution that can be done to distinguish between tasks in list view.

Thanks
