    kthayer Thanks for linking to that blog. I am trying to use the same pattern for a similar problem, but seem to be hitting a roadblock. I want the "GPA Phase" data card to be visible only if the option "Language Hours" is chosen from the drop down list as the value for the "Type of Activity" data card.

     

    Here's what I'm using:

    IF (DataCardValue11_1.Selected.Value = "Language Hours",true,false)

     

    I'm attaching screenshot as well:

      tcoates88 I don't see any problem with the formula you written in your above reply: 

       

      If(DataCardValue11_1.Selected.Value = "Language Hours", true, false)

       

      Make sure you are using the correct value ("Language Hours") as given in backend which is case-sensitive. Also, in the screenshot you attached, you are missing closing bracket ")" at the end of formula.

      tcoates88 , I don't do much support with this form and I'm not a developer. The only thing I wondered is if the "Language Hours" is a problem because it's two words and maybe there's a backend value that puts something between them? Sorry I can't offer much help. Hopefully someone else can chime in who knows what they're talking about. 🙂

        kthayer thanks for your reply! I was thinking the same thing...just trying to figure out what that backend value might be.
