Visibility based on dropdown selection using cascade dropdowns from sharepoint list source

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Experts,

 

I have a dropdown that receives its values from a sharepoint list, one of the values is Opportunity to Improve

 

I have several boxes that I want to be hidden unless Opportunity to Improve is selected from the above dropdown box. I have set the code on the visibility to the below but i'm getting the red X, can you advise where i'm going wrong please?

 

If(
 'Dropdown-Classification'.Selected.Value = "Opportunity to Improve",
 true,
 false
)

 

Thank you!

    If you are getting a red X then you should also be getting an error message. What is the actual error message?

     

    FYI:  You can shorten your formula by just using the example below in Visible property.

    'Dropdown-Classification'.Selected.Value = "Opportunity to Improve"

    Hi @Jeff_Thorpe ,

     

    Thanks for advising of the shortening, I will keep that in mind in future! The error message that is coming up is: 

    Incompatible types for comparison. These types can’t be compared: Error, Text.

     

    Many thanks

    I have managed to work this out, the text at the end needed changing slightly so it should be:

    If(
     'Dropdown-Classification'.Selected.Result = "Opportunity to Improve",
     true,
     false
    )
