Selecting buttons visibility based on varible

[moosebot88]

Hi,

I am new to powerapps but I am trying to set the visibility of a button based on a global variable.

So I have a dropdown box on my main menu called ddsiteselect and have a button next to it. On the button I have it Onselect =

Set(locat,ddsiteselect.SelectedText)

Then on my button I have tried a few things

If(locat=SiteA,"true","false")

Where am I going wrong?

Hi @moosebot88 ,

You just need this on the Visible property of the button - where xxxx equals the output (Value/Result/FieldName) of the dropdown

locat = ddsiteSelect.Selected.xxxx

Hi @moosebot88,

Based on your description, I think you want to make the button visible based on the dropdown selected.

I just assume that you have a Choice column and set the Dropdown Items property as Choices(List.ChoiceColumn)

If so, please modify your formula as below:

Set(locat,ddsiteselect.Selected.Value)

If(locat=”SiteA”,true,false)

In addition,if you write your Set() formula on the Onselect property of Button,

and write the If() statement on the Visible property  to determine the visibility of the button,

this button will always be invisible because the untriggered variable is a null value. You can't even click on the button.
