Is there a possibility to make something?
On the gallery, i've got a field with various text.
Is it then possible to make an if statement or containt or match to call a hard coded tel number?
 
Just like something
If(Contains "Some text";
Launch ("tel:xxxxxxxxxx")

Are you just having an issue with writing the conditiondal statement for IF? You could try this.

If(Not(IsBlank(TextInput1.Text)); Launch("tel:xxxxxxxxxx"));;

It would be helpful if you can provide an exact scenario. Screenshots help too. I would be happy to help if it’s something I am familiar with.

Earlier I thought you just wanted to detect whether the field was blank, lol.

Maybe this will help.
What i mean;
If the texfield (Viewmode) entry match like "Windows" then call windows.
If the entry contains "Apple" then call apple

Your example is very good and now I understand what you would like to do.

I assume you have some label/text input in your form. When the label/text input is clicked a phone number will be called if it matches the name on a list.

Try this code in the OnSelect property of your label/text input. You will need to customize for your own situation but I think it shows the concept very well.

If( "Apple" in Label1.Text,Launch("tel:6141234567"), "Google" in Label1.Text,Launch("tel:2049876543"), "Microsoft" in Label1.Text,Launch("tel:2325648976") );

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to call different phone number (using Launch function) based on the "Uitvoerende Partij" column value in your Display form?

Based on the formula you provided, I think there is something wrong with it. There is no function called "Match" in PowerApps.

I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

Set the OnSelect property of the DataCardValue60 ("Uitvoerende Partij" Label) in your Display form to following:

If( "Entelec" in ThisItem.'Uitvoerende Partij', Launch("tel:xxxxxxx"), "Entelec2" in ThisItem.'Uitvoerende Partij', Launch("tel:00000000"), ... )

or

If( IsMatch(ThisItem.'Uitvoerende Partij', "Entelec"), Launch("tel:xxxxxxxx"), IsMatch(ThisItem.'Uitvoerende Partij', "Entelec2"), Launch("tel:00000000"), ... )

Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
