Hi All!

When I try to evaluate a column condition of a collection to change the color of a circle, it doesn't work ...

Any idea how to refer to the collection?

Thanks in advance

Regards

PowerApps is having trouble understanding which row in the collection you want to check. I believe you want it to look at the first one. Replace DaysFinal.Item1 with the code below in both places.

First(DaysFinal).Item1

Hi Kepda,

You're changing the color based on the collection, does this only contains 1 item?

If yes: Power Apps does not know this and will check on the whole table which he can't determine if the value is "vacation".
You can solve this by using First(DayFinal).Item1

If this is not the case, you will have to find a workaround.
Can you provide a little more detail about the app?

Kind Regards,

You could solve this by doing the following:

In your collection you have the date. Based on this date you can do a lookup, problem is that you need to concatenate the date yourself.

Switch(
    LookUp(
        colEvents,
        Concatenate(
            Text(
                Day(
                    DateAdd(
                        _firstDayInView,
                        ThisItem.Value,
                        Days
                    )
                )
            ),
            "/",
            Text(Month(_firstDayOfMonth)),
            "/",
            Text(Year(_firstDayOfMonth))
        ) = Text(colDate)
    ).Item1,
    "Vacation",
    RGBA(56,96,178,0.2),
    "Work",
    RGBA(56,96,178,0.5 ),
    "Weekend",
    RGBA(56,96,178, 1),
RGBA(56,96,178,0.6 )
)

I would also do a switch instead of an If, this way you make it more Future proof.

the "items1" column could be vacations or work:

mdevaney · ‎02-11-2020

@Kepcla

Yes, that's true. But you cannot simply check to see if Items1 is equal to vacations or work because there are several rows and PowerApps doesn't know which row to check.

Which row do you want to check?

Actualy all (Item1)....maybe ForAll function could work...

KennethNicasens · ‎02-11-2020

Kepla,

Can you give a bit more context of the use of this functionality.

ForAll will loop over each item and will do an action(s) within this loop.

Kepcla · ‎02-11-2020

Thanks to All, "First" function works!

Kepcla · ‎02-11-2020

Sorry clumsiness!!😥

Is not working...

First function just evaluate the 1st record...

I tried LookUp, Filter, ForAll, and not luck...

My brain is hanging upside down😖

Can you give a bit more context of the use of this functionality?

You can create a gallery with each item and color the circle in for each record.
Or do you want to check if there is 1 vacation within the list? Then you can use the following formula: If(Empty(Filter(colName, item1 = "vacation")),RGBA(),RGBA())

Changing color of the circle according to the value of the column in a Collection
