Change fill colour of label based on other labels text value

[Doors1980]

Hi All,

Totally new to this so figuring things out as I go... 

I have a text label called "Priority" that's populated with "High", "Medium" or "Low" text from a SharePoint list. (Not a dropdown, just a single line of text column)

Dependant on this value I'd like to change another labels fill to either red, orange or green.

This is not working:

If( text(Priority.Text) = "Low" , Color.Green, text(Priority.Text) = "Medium", Color.Orange, Color.Red )

Cheers in advance.

You should not need to wrap the Priority.Text in another text, it should work by simply referencing Priority.Text and comparing that value to "Low" "Medium" etc.

I would also suggest using a switch statement as it's much easier to write. Something like:

Switch(Priority.Text,"Low",Green,"Medium",Orange,Red)

Hi @Doors1980

I assume the Priority is a variable in your data source and not a label name?

If You are trying to do this in a Gallery so something like this should fix your problems:

Fill =

Switch(
  ThisItem.Priority,
  "Low", Green,
  "Medium",Orange,
  Red
)
