incompatible types for comparison, These types cant be compared: optionsetvalue, text

[Dorinda]

I am just getting into using the Dataverse and i have a table that has a choice column called expense type.

I want to have a field only show when the choice field is Travel-Day Trips,

I am using this code below which I thought would work,

If(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value = "Travel-Day Trips",true, false)

 but I am getting the error.

 Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Try this:

If(Text(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value) = "Travel-Day Trips",true, false)

Nit sure if it will work, though..

The problem is that the value of a choice column in Dataverse isn't actually the text that is displayed.  Option columns store their choices in a central location.  So you need to use a loopkup to get the value.  This article explains.
