Posted on by ThomasB

Hi everybody,

 

I've a list with a true/false field and i want to show the status with a color indicator on the first page of the powerapp.

Everything works fine with status true=(Green) and false=(Red).

 

The 3rd entrie should be YELLOWThe 3rd entrie should be YELLOW

Here ist my code that works:

If(approval=true; Color.Green; approval=false; Color.Red)

 

How can i define a empty field as (Yellow)?

I played around with "isempty" and "ifempty" but got no soloution.

 

THX for your help!

Kind regards

Thomas

    Hi ThomasB,

     

    When using SharePoint list, I’m afraid it is not possible to define an empty field as “yellow”. As when we create a Yes/No column type in the list, we will be given a Default value “Yes” or “No”.


    So when we show it on the app, the Yes/No column always has a Default value for it. Though the field is “empty”, the color will change based on the Default value you have set when creating the column.

    For a test, I create an app based on an Excel table, then when I use the code, it works as expected.
