I'm new to Power Apps so I'm needing some guidance on building an app with a check box option in an Edit Form.

The Edit Form is linked to an Excel Table.

I am able to link the Data Card to a Value field in the Table but my only option is the change the control type to "allowed fields" using a Yes/No drop down but would like to change that to a simple check box.

Is that an option, do I need to change the format of the Cell in Excel?? Just curious on my options. thanks

Only option in the edit field so far:

Looking for something like this.

Hi @Dsheldon1313 ,

What you can do is to delete the combobox and replace it with a checkbox. Then set the Default property of the Checkbox to:

Parent.Default.Value = "Yes"

Also you will need to set the Update property of the DataCard to:

If( Checkbox1.Value, "Yes", "No" )

In the above you need to replace Checkbox1 with the actual name of the checkbox control within the datacard.
