Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Morning, all! 😁

 

 

I am trying to create a variable (see below). ECPark = ECPark column content is "Yes" in the Collection. Though it shows no error in the App Start, when is try to type it in the control it doesn't come up as an option.

 

Set(varIsECPark,If("ECPark" in ParkListCollection.ECPark,"Yes",true);

    You cannot define a variable as both Boolean (true false) and String ("Yes", "No").  In your formula you are trying to do both.  You need to choose one or the other.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
