Fomula issue

I have a column called "Staff Name" in a form and used below formula in data card value setting. When "Addition" is selected in column RARHeadcounttype, staff name is blank. When other value is selected for column RARHeadcounttype, stall name should be filled with staff name.

The issue is at the beginning, this record was filled as "Backfill", so staff name was filled as well. But later the data was updated by user to change "Backfill" to "Addition", value in Staff name column didn't got removed. Do you have any idea for this issue?

Hi @YanLiang,

Modify your formula as below:

If(RARForm.MOde=FormMode.New || RARHeadcounttype.Selected.Result="Addition","",Parent.Default)

@YanLiang ,

Nothing (it means Or) - it just saves some typing and brackets.

Thanks, but why when I changed value from "Backfill" to "Addition" in column RARHeadcounttype, staff name didn't change to blank automatically? It keeps the value filled at very beginning.

Try resetting the control OnSelect of RARHeadcounttype

Hi @YanLiang,

Have you solved your problem?

Have you replace the Blank() with empty string ""?

If my formula solve your problem, please mark it as solution or provide more details if it is still an issue.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Thanks Qi, it works. May I know why should use "" instead of Blank()?
