Count how many toggle buttons are on yes

[RoScha]

Hello community,

this time I have the following topic:

On the screen below you will see a Form with toggle buttons.

If the toggle buttons have been set to "yes", I would like to count them straight away, in the blue label. Because I want to control the visibility of the save button with it.

Means: if no toggle button was set to "yes", the blue label shows "zero" and if a toggle button is set to "yes", this must then happen as a formula: 0 = 0 + 1 or X=X+1

If the toggle button is set from "yes" to "no", the formula is of course X = X-1 until "ZERO" is reached again at some point.

I hope you understand what I mean.

Now the exciting question is: how do I get that?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards

You can easily count True toggles, since it produces a False (0) or True (1) value. PowerApps is able to use both the boolean/integer value, contextually.

Set your Blue label (for counting):

Sum(
    Toggle1.Value,
    Toggle2.Value,
    Toggle3.Value,
    Toggle4.Value
)

It may require some fine-tuning since you're using a Form, and the Toggles may produce a non-standard value (depending on their source), but this should work.

You mention this may be simply to control the visibility of a Save button. You don't need the count/label above, unless you want to show that to users. Instead, set the Visible property of your Save button to

Or(
    Toggle1.Value,
    Toggle2.Value,
    Toggle1.Value,
    Toggle2.Value
)

This will make it visible, if any Toggle is true.

Hello @GarethPrisk 

I am always amazed at how easy it is to make solutions and how I once again thought too complicated.

Many thanks.
