Changing the start screen based on metadata value

Posted on by DeanM1985

I have two power apps based on a SP list. The first is basically just a gallery listing all the records in the list. If you click a button on any record, it opens the second app, passing through the ID value from the list item and populating the fields on the app with the values from the list item.

My issue is that this second app has multiple screens, with different fields and buttons displayed, and I want the app to open to the appropriate screen depending on the value of the CurrentStatus field. I know I probably need an IF statement in the StartScreen value of the app, but I cannot figure out how to get it to look at the value of the SP field in that formula.

Hi @DeanM1985 ,

You have not posted a lot to work with, however an example if you are sending the ID of the target record with a Parameter called id

If( LookUp( SPList, ID = Value(Param("id")) ).CurrentStatus = "XXX", Screen1, Screen2 )

or if you have multiple options

With( { _Data: LookUp( SPList, ID = Value(Param("id")) ).CurrentStatus }, Switch( _Data, "XXX", Screen1, "YYY", Screen2, "ZZZ', Screen3 ) )
