Using If and IsBlank in a gallery label

[dev85]

Hello guys

I'm building a normal gallery for my app but there is a label that I need to show the text based on if a field have data or not.

For this I'm using this expresion:

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.'New_owner'),ThisItem.'System Owner',ThisItem.'New_owner')

What I'm trying to achieve is that if the New_owner field is blank them bring me the text in the System Owmner field, if not, take the text from New_owner.

However, powerapps does not allow me to do this because it says "invalid argument type (text). Expecting a record value instead).

thanks for the help.

@dev85 Where does the Data come from? What field type is "New_owner" and "System Owner"? Is it a TextField or a person field? (Assuming you are using SharePoint)

Assuming it is a person column you are working with...

Please consider changing your Formula to the following:

Coalesce(
    ThisItem.'New_owner'.DisplayName,
    ThisItem.'System Owner'.DisplayName
)

Your trouble is that you are trying to display a record in a text property...you need to specify the column you want.  In the above, DisplayName was chosen.

I hope this is helpful for you.

You are correct, the info is coming from a sharepoint list. The new_owner field is a type person and the system_owner is a type text.

If System Owner is of type text, then change your formula to:

Coalesce(
    ThisItem.'New_owner'.DisplayName,
    ThisItem.'System Owner'
)
