Making a field visible when certain choices are selected in another field

Posted on by CathMitcherson

Hi I have created a number of hidden fields using If statement:

Goes like this: visible

If(DataCardValue35.Selected.Value="Other”,true,false)

which works beautiful, however I have a field which has a number of selections required, such as Other, EMS) I have tried different ways to try and get both these choices in, however they do not work. I dont get errors, but when selecting it does not show the hidden box when selected. Here are some examples of what i have done.

If(DataCardValue35.Selected.Value="Other",true,false) && (DataCardValue35.Selected.Value="SWMS")

also done

If(DataCardValue39.Selected.Value="Other; EMS",true,false)

I know what I have tried is not quite right, however I not sure if it best to use the If statement or if I should use a variable on the other field. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as it would be much appreciated. I have only just started using Powerapps, so fairly new.

Sorry everyone I think I have found a solution. This is what I ended up doing on the field

visible
If(DataCardValue39.Selected.Value = "Other", true,false || DataCardValue39.Selected.Value = "EMS", true, false)

It works. If there is a better way let me know. but it works.

@CathMitcherson

Yes, you needed the OR operator for what you were trying to do.

You can shorten your formula to this to make it a little easier to deal with:

(DataCardValue39.Selected.Value = "Other" || DataCardValue39.Selected.Value = "EMS")

This will be true if either one of those values are selected and false if not. You don't need to specify true or false when you write your formula this way.

I hope that adds a little extra help for you.
