Posted on by Will_Y

Hello Group!

I have a form where I want to show/hide visibility to several datacards based on the selection from the dropdown menu.

DataCardValue13 - stores my dropdown list. The list is:

Burn
Caught by
Struck by
Alergic Reaction
Vehicle
Chemical
Food
Missing Property
Miscellaneous

The goal is to show DataCard1 if DataCardValue13 equals: Burn, Caught By, Struck by, Alergic Reaction

However Hide DataCard 1 if DataCardValue13 equals: Vehilce, Micellaneous or Missing Property

I have several DataCards I want to show/hide based on the selection from DataCardValue13

Can I do this? It has to be a visible if AND command but I just can not figure it out.

Thank you in advance!

Nonsense!. Set the Visible property of the card to

DataCardValue13.Text = Or( "Burn", "Caught By","Struck by", "Allergic Reaction")

This formula reduces to either true or false.

Could you give me the whole formula you are referring to? When I enter what you listed in the Visible property it does not work. The .text is not a valid function. I also tried the below which did not work 😞

DataCardValue18.Selected.Value = Or("Burn", "Theft", "Stolen Vehicle")

Thanks

You may want to try:
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value in ["Burn", "Theft", "Stolen Vehicle"]

Just wanted to share the solution I found. The challenege what to display a field only if one of these selections was chosen otherwise keep the field hidden. By stacking the selected value using the "||" command I was able to get it to work. Basically if any of these values where selected the visible field was "true" otherwise "false".

Hope this helps others.

If(
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Burn"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Allergic Reaction"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Assault"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Caught in/by/between"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Chemical"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Death Investigation"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Food Illness"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Improper Lifting"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Insect Bites"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Medical Aid"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Slip/Trip/Fall"
||
DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Struck by object"
,true,false)

Same formula just without breaks:
If(DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Burn"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Allergic Reaction"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Assault"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Caught in/by/between"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Chemical"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Death Investigation"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Food Illness"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Improper Lifting"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Insect Bites"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Medical Aid"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Slip/Trip/Fall"||DataCardValue18.Selected.Value="Struck by object",true,false)
