If statement dropdown to Text

I have a hard coded list of names in a dropdown box dropdown2_1. When a name is selected it feeds a DataCardValue1 text box that concatenates the selected name from dropdown2_1 and adds the word Remote at the end. Then a button adds the result into a calendar. I want to add the word HOLIDAY into the dropdown2_1 list that when selected the word Remote is not concatenated.

    Hi @GeneErz 

     

    You can achieve your goal by using a conditional statement in your DataCardValue1 text box formula. Y

    ou can check if the selected name from dropdown2_1 is "HOLIDAY" and then concatenate the word "Remote" only if it is not.

    For example, you can use something like this:

    Concatenate(
     dropdown2_1.Selected.Value, 
     If(
     dropdown2_1.Selected.Value <> "HOLIDAY", 
     "Remote"
     )
    )

    This will append "Remote" to the selected name unless it is "HOLIDAY".

     

    If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊
