Sum using Selected dropdown

Goodday,

I have a dropdown (named as drpbusiness) with Fire and Water as the options. If Fire is selected, I can correctly see the submission calculations is DataCardValue12.

Below formula is applied to Default Property card (DataCardValue12)

But when Water is selected, DataCardValue12 shows blank.

I need to allow users to enter values in DataCardValue12 if Water is selected and save the same values within the form and backend data (SharePoint).

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi @Prem4253

What is the Update property on the Data Card containing DataCardValue12 (which I assume is a Text Input)

@Prem4253,

So if the user types in a valid number (you can set the Text control in the right panel only to accept this), it will update that value to SharePoint. What is it that it is not doing ?

When Water is selected, I'm able to add value to DataCardValue12, which is than getting stored to SharePoint.

But the updated value does not shows any value into PowerApps form. It is returning to blank, even though it is updated to SharePoint.

Value got updated to SharePoint:

But returning blank into form:

I think I was able to fix this with below logic:

If(drpbusiness.Selected.Value = "Water",ThisItem.'Amount',Parent.Default, If( drpbusiness.Selected.Value = "Fire", Sum( Value(DataCardValue26.Text), Value(DataCardValue28.Text), Value(DataCardValue36.Text), Value(DataCardValue39.Text), Value(DataCardValue40.Text), Value(DataCardValue42.Text) ))

As always, Thanks for your help @WarrenBelz
