Displaying a label as part of an IF function

[KathrynHughes]

I have this line of code:

If the collection is empty then the form submits - this works.

If the collection is not empty I would like a label to display - this is where I'm stuck.

This is the line of code I have(where Failed is the name of my label):

If(IsEmpty(checking2),SubmitForm(Form2),Failed.Visible)

Any suggestions to where I'm going wrong or another way of doing things would be great.

Hello,

You just don't give any value to your Failed.Visible property! 🙂

If(IsEmpty(checking2),SubmitForm(Form2),Failed.Visible = true)

Does it help you ?

Best regards,

Hi @KathrynHughes 

The way to do this is to set the Visible property of your Failed label to this:

If(IsEmpty(checking2), 
   false,
   true
)

You'll need to go the advanced tab of the properties pane to be able to enter the formula.

It worked when I changed the visible property of the label and not from adding to the IF function.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Glad that solved your problem @KathrynHughes 

Just as a sidenote, it isn't possible in PowerApps to make assignments like this:

Failed.Visible = true

So in any scenario where we want to do this, the answer is the apply the formula/condition against the property, just like you've done here.
