Thanks, the .Value worked!

Strange that things like this just happens. Someone must have change the syntax qualifier.

Hi. I am very new to PowerApps.

I am unable to create an if statement using the '=' operator. I am using a SharePoint list as my source.

The formula reads: if(SharePointList.Year = 2019, "Yes", "No")

This seems like a simple formula, but for some reason it is not working. Please help.

I would recommend starting a new thread on this forum as this is an old posting that has already been solved (it will get more attention as a new post)

However, consider that your If formula is trying to compare the Year of the entire list to 2019...that's not going to work.

You will need to compare a specific record field.  So something like this would work:

   If(Lookup(SharePointList, ID=someId).Year = 2019, "Yes", "No")

Again, you need a specific record/field to work with.
