If statement not working on backicon, OnSelect event

Posted on by Jason8

I am creating my first PowerApps app.

I am wanting to use the back arrow to return to different screens depending on the value of the variable.

I am using the OnSelect event of the BackArrow Icon

//Navigate(Intro, ScreenTransition.None)



//If(varCreateShift = true,Set(varlbltext, "Create") , Set(varlbltext, "review") )



If(varCreateShift = true,Navigate(Intro, ScreenTransition.None),Navigate(BrowseScreen1, ScreenTransition.None)

First off I used the navigate function to return to the previous screen All works perfectly fine.

Then I used the if statement and checked the value of the variable and displayed different text in a label for the variables true/false, again this worked fine.

So thirdly I replaced the label display to navigate back to the screen, that I would like to return to. At this point nothing happens and I am a little puzzled. PowerApps

Many thanks for all help

Hi, maybe you should use: UpdateContext({varCreateShift:false}), for change the variable value. In your code I think that your variable is not changing.

Your formula has a syntax error to it. Please consider changing your Formula to the following:

If(varCreateShift, Navigate(Intro, ScreenTransition.None), Navigate(BrowseScreen1, ScreenTransition.None) )

You were missing the closing parenthesis.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Yes, the editor is much different than VS. Sometimes the errors are quite obscure.

Glad to help.
