HELP what am i missing?? Visible label Condition

[gazzo1967]

Hi All

I have a label that i would like to appear based on a condition

so my scenario is

i have to people selection Comboboxes

if they contain duplicate names the label should appear but it is appearing when both fields are empty.

my formula is

If(
DataCardValue8.Selected.DisplayName = DataCardValue7.Selected.DisplayName,true,
IsEmpty(DataCardValue8.Selected.DisplayName = DataCardValue7.Selected.DisplayName),false)

Is my logic flawed?

Help Gratefully received 🙂

@BCLS776 
it looks like its a circular formula

if box A is blank and Box B is blank then the formula is correct they are both blank so its true
but i am trying to say if they are blank that is false
HEADACHE beginning lol

I have done a very nasty hack but it works
I have just created another label that covers the original with same colour as background and used it to cover if the fields are blank

Hi Gary, I got this version to work on a test app - order of operations was biting us:

If(
    IsBlank(DataCardValue8.Selected.DisplayName) && IsBlank(DataCardValue7.Selected.DisplayName),
    false,
    DataCardValue8.Selected.DisplayName = DataCardValue7.Selected.DisplayName,
    true,
    false
)

DOH!!!!!!!
Of course
you have to follow the logic of what you want to achieve!!!
Unbelievable how sometimes we look for the complex solution!!

thank you for the help
that gave me the basis to complete the whole form (5 more fileds to compare)
All working now 🙂
