Conditional Visibility in PowerApps

Hello everyone! In many cases, Most of the time we need Conditional Visibility in PowerApps. This is a very common scenario where we need to make the gallery appear based on drop-down selection. In this blog, we will create a simple employee form with a conditional appearance of the gallery.

From the below GIF screenshot, you can see the appearance of the gallery based on drop-down selection.

Figure 1.

Let’s start developing the form.

The Conditional Appearance of Gallery

• In order to bind items in dropdown we are using fx = ["Select...","Yes","No"].

• To create GalleryItems collections you can use Collect(GalleryItems,{PartnerName: ""});ClearCollect(GalleryItems,{}) OnSelect event of dropdown box.

• Now bind GalleryItems with the gallery.

• Now we will set the visiblity of Gallery by making Visible fx = If(Dropdown1.Selected.Value="Yes",true)

Calculation of Age Based on DOB Field

• We are using a label to show the Approximate age of the user based on DOB field selection.

  to do this you can use (fx) Concatenate("Approximately age is : ",Text(Year(Now())-Year(DatePicker2.SelectedDate)), " years")

Figure 3.

• You also need to set the EndYear of the DOB field to Year(Now()).

Making Textbox Multi-line for Address Field

• You can set Mode = (

  fx) TextMode.MultiLine of Address field in order to make it multiline.
