How to make label & dropdown only visible based on previous dropdown selection.

Hi there,

I am trying to make a power app that is a fillable form that has a label & dropdown that are only visible based on the selection in a previous dropdown.

So, if the person using the app selects "W2WB" or "W2NB" in Dropdown1_1, then Label2_6 & Dropdown1_2 should be visible. Otherwise, if "Independent Contractor", "Subcontractor", or "Direct Hire" are selected in Dropdown 1_1, then Label2_6 & Dropdown1_2 shouldn't be visible. Additionally, if nothing is selected or "" (blank) is selected I don't want Label2_6 & Dropdown1_2 to be visible.

Is this doable? I will note I am only using dropdown controls & labels, not a form control.

Here is what I have that isn't working:

Under Visible for Label2_6 & Dropdown1_2:

If(

(Dropdown1_1.Selected.Value = "W2WB" || Dropdown1_1.Selected.Value= "W2NB”),

true,

false)

Please let me know! Thank you 🙂

Change your Visible property to:

Dropdown1_1.Selected.Value in "W2WB|W2NB"

The redundant true and false with an If statement is not needed. The above will return true or false already.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Randy,

When "" (blank) is selected in Dropdown1_1, those 2 are still visible. Is there a way to also make it not visible when nothing is selected/"" (blank) is selected?

Thanks! 🙂

Yes, change to:

!IsBlank(Dropdown1_1.Selected.Value) && (Dropdown1_1.Selected.Value in "W2WB|W2NB")
