Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I need help with the below.

I have combo box with list of options and users can select multiple options. Say option 1 is selected, it will display this. If option2 it will display this. If option 1 and option 2 are selected it will display. these items. I tried using the IF function but if its already with 5 or more options, it becomes heavy.

Thanks!

For tasks like this Switch() function is best.

ComboBox1.Selected.Value

Options:

op1

op2

op3

op4

op5

Actions :

op1 = "Smile"

op2 = "Clap"

op3 = "Happy"

op4= "Sad"

op5 = "Good"

Code :

Switch( ComboBox.Selected.Value, "op1", "Smile", "op2", "Clap", "op3", "happy", "op4", "Sad", "op5", "Good" )

Switch( Formula / Control, Match1, Result1 [, Match2, Result2, ... [, DefaultResult ] ] )

Than You need to ditch Switch() and use IF as below example:

If( Condition1=true Or Condition2=true Or Condition3=true, Result1, Condition4=true, Result2 )

And yes it will be big if you have multiple options 😞

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can use the same formula I had given before:
Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, ThisRecord.Value, ", ")

For Example.
If you selected Option1/3.5 then output you can show as
Notify("You have selected "& Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, ThisRecord.Value, ", ") &" items")

Hope this helps

Hello @SebS, the problem is I have 10 options and that would have a lot of conditions.... Is there a way to just have contain or find if this word present then use this? I tried playing with that but was unsuccessful.
