Hello,

I've seen lots of posts for similar mainly if a column is blank or there based on a specific user, but nothing based on a certain value of a text field.

My goal is to hide a button if my COIStatus field value is Awaiting Approval, I tried the following in the visible column but of course it couldn't be that easy

If(COIStatus_DataCard1.Value="Awaiting Review"),true,false

but I receive the error

I'm not clear what this error is telling me or how I can fix this. Any ideas on where I when wrong?

Thank you,

DWTKBrook

Hi @Anonymous ,

Just put this in Visible:

COIStatus_DataCard1.Value="Awaiting Review"

Greetings,

As @Waegemma says, there is never a need for an If() in a visible property. The formula reduces either true or false.

It's telling you COIStatus_DataCard1.Value is not correct. Use Intellesense to see what choices you have when you type in: COIStatus_DataCard1.

Hello @Drrickryp @Waegemma Just tried again with a couple modifications to my original syntax, and the only way it works is with an If() (images below;
Using: If(DataCardValue1.Text = "Awaiting Line Manager Review", true, false)

Empty COIStatus, no button

COIStatus with text "Awaiting Line Manager Review"

Thank you for your help! Cheers1

My guess is that if the visible property is simply DataCardValue1.Text = "Awaiting Line Manager Review"

it will also work since this resolves to either true or false by itself. However, the formula you came up with is equally valid.
