Disable button (DisplayMode) when collection contains a certain text

Posted on by Folk

Hi all,

My Powerapps contains a dropdown with three items to choose from, let's call them:

Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

I use a Collection (named: Collection1) to store the data temporary (column named: "CLine") until the user clicks the send E-mail button. However I would like to disable the button with the DisplayMode when column "CLine" contains the text value ''Line 2." I assumed the following formula would work, but it doesn't:

If(Collection1.ColumnLine = "Line 1"; DisplayMode.Disabled; DisplayMode.Edit)

If anyone knows a solution I would love to hear it. Thank you!

Kind Regards,

Folk

Hi @Folk ,
Try
If( Collection1.ColumnLine = "Line 1" || Collection1.ColumnLine = "Line 2" || Collection1.ColumnLine = "Line 3"; DisplayMode.Disabled; DisplayMode.Edit )
There are other solutions if you have more lines, but need a non-Delegable filter.

Hi @WarrenBelz Thank you for the proposed solution. Unfortunately it does not work. PowerApps determines the operator "=" as an invalid argument.

Hi @Folk ,
I was simply using your syntax and expanding it to the three possibilities. I cannot see either your data structure of controls and it is far more helpful to give actual code than abstract references.
You refer to a drop-down having values, but then a column to reference? I am now actually unclear on what you want - how is the drop-down related to cLine?
