Hi !

Need a little help please!  Thank you in advance!

I have tried many variations and can't get it to work...I have a form field that cannot be populated by a certain source.  I'm trying to add an error message that says:
If SOURCE_ORG like '%UM%' and field is populated then give error as this source cannot populate this field.  I can't get the following formula on my card / label to work says my formula has errors

 

I put this on the Visible element of the card where I have the label to display the message if any source containing UM has populated an input field (DataCardValue234)

 

If(("UM" in ThisItem.SOURCE_ORG && !IsBlank(Value(DataCardValue234.Text)),true, false)

    I'm on a mission to remove unnecessary If() functions.

    "UM" in ThisItem.SOURCE_ORG && !IsBlank(DataCardValue234.Text)

    Reduces to either true or false by itself

    @Drrickryp Thank you so much!  This absolutely worked!  I just changed the "in" to "exactin" because it's case sensitive.  I'll have to poke around for a way to ignore case but otherwise this worked, thanks again!!
