Compare values from collection and toggle change

[bfausti]

I need help with a known problem outlined here (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Onchange-event-often-triggers-when-screen-be...

I need to compare the value of a field called Targeted (true/false) in a local collection with the toggle control value when it is clicked/changed. I used the following but get an Incompatible types for comparison error (Table/Boolean):

if(colTargets.Targeted <> Self.Value,

 {Run action when the toggle really is clicked}

)

I am fairly new to PowerApps and am not sure how I can check if the toggle was changed so it doesn't fire when it is not clicked due to this bug. Very frustrating.

Hey! That is because you are giving the hole collection.

You need to choose the item of the collectino that you want to compare.

If you want the first: 

First(colTargets).Targeted 

If you Have them in a gallery:

Gallery.Selected.Targeted

Thanks for the information.

However, I am getting a new comparison issue now, see below:

Any ideas?

Hey. 

Is your field Targeted a combobox or a dropdown?

Hi @Nogueira1306, the control used is a toggle and the field is a yes/no:

So, you trying to see if the field yes is equal to true... You cant compare that..

You need to "convert" the yes to true and the no to false

So

If(gal_credits.Selected.Target = "yes" && Self.Value = true;

Notify(...)

Thanks that worked! Thanks allot 🙂

Final code was:

If(Text(gal_credits.Selected.Targeted) = "Yes" && Text(Self.Value) = "true",

Notify("Targeted Clicked");

);
