Posted on by Khibby

I have entered the following in the Items of the dcvG1Status datacard:

If(DataCardValue8.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue12.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue13.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue14.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue15.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue16.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue17.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue9.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue36.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue47.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue48.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue49.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue50.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue51.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue61.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue62.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue63.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue64.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue65.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue66.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue67.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue68.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue69.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue70.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue71.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue72.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue73.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue74.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue76.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue75.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue77.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue78.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue79.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue80.Selected.Value="At Risk" Or DataCardValue81.Selected.Value="At Risk",{dcvG1Status:"Review"},{dcvG1Status:"Active"})
 
The dcvG1Status is a choice field, as are all the datacards referenced above.
 
I get an error - "The function 'Search' has some invalid argument types. dcvG1Status.SearchItems"
 
I have allow searching turned off.  Why am I getting this?
 
Thanks in advance!

That fixed it! I don't know why I didn't think of that. I've had this problem before with the modern drop-down on a previous app. Thank you so much! You're all wonderful!

@Khibby,

Try with a Classic Combo Box - if that works, then the issue is the control.

I'm using the modern drop down. I'm not searching. That's the error I get after using the formula in this thread.

It's like the modern drop down wants to search though I have turned off "allow searching".

@Khibby,

Is that a Modern or Classic combo box ? However why are you searching when there will only be one choice available ?

This does clean up that formula. Thank you so much!

I still get the error message, "The function 'Search' has some invalid argument types. dcvG1Status.SearchItems".

I'm thinking it has something to do with the ability to search choice fields though I have search turned off.

This does leave only one choice for the user to select.

I need it to select that choice for them. Is that possible? Maybe I need to change that Status field to text?

Thanks so much!

Kim

Hi @Khibby,

If you are looking to put that value into the Items (this becomes the only choice available to the user), you would do something like this
[ If( "At Risk" in [ DataCardValue8.Selected.Value, DataCardValue12.Selected.Value, DataCardValue13.Selected.Value, DataCardValue14.Selected.Value, DataCardValue15.Selected.Value, DataCardValue16.Selected.Value, DataCardValue17.Selected.Value, DataCardValue9.Selected.Value, DataCardValue36.Selected.Value, DataCardValue47.Selected.Value, DataCardValue48.Selected.Value, DataCardValue49.Selected.Value, DataCardValue50.Selected.Value, DataCardValue51.Selected.Value, DataCardValue61.Selected.Value, DataCardValue62.Selected.Value, DataCardValue63.Selected.Value, DataCardValue64.Selected.Value, DataCardValue65.Selected.Value, DataCardValue66.Selected.Value, DataCardValue67.Selected.Value, DataCardValue68.Selected.Value, DataCardValue69.Selected.Value, DataCardValue70.Selected.Value, DataCardValue71.Selected.Value, DataCardValue72.Selected.Value, DataCardValue73.Selected.Value, DataCardValue74.Selected.Value, DataCardValue76.Selected.Value, DataCardValue75.Selected.Value, DataCardValue77.Selected.Value, DataCardValue78.Selected.Value, DataCardValue79.Selected.Value, DataCardValue80.Selected.Value, DataCardValue81.Selected.Value ], "Review", "Active" ) ]
