Hi,

I am looking to code a way to hide certain fields in one of the screen depending upon the email in one of the fields.

There is a another column is the same list called as 'Line Manager Name' which is of Person or group type. I need to check if the email address of this 'Line Manager Name' column matches with one who is viewing the form that is only when I need the below fields to be visible. I have already added the Office365 connector to the app.

I'm sorry i'm a bit confused here but do you want to compare current user with values in a list or do you want to compare it with an input field?
If it's the latter then maybe something like
If(Office365Users.MyProfile().UserPrincipalName = TextInput1.Text, true, false)
in "visible" of the fields you want to hide/show or put it in a variable.
If it's the first one then maybe this If(!IsBlank(LookUp(List, User.Email = Office365Users.MyProfile().UserPrincipalName)), true, false)
Hope this helps

Edit : edited mistake in 2nd formula

I have a person or group type Line Manager column in the list which is updated by a flow at the backend. The flow updates the list when the item is created :

On the Power apps the field visibility is been controlled by using the below code :

Office365Users.UserProfile(User().Email).Mail = DataCardValue20.Selected.Email

Wherein the datacardvalue20 is the field where in the line manager email is updated by the flow.

I did a test but the fields are still not visible for the line manager. What wrong I am doing here ?
