SharePoint Online JSON Hyperlink Column Formatting - If empty

Copper Contributor

I am trying to make a hyperlink column to appear "NA" if empty but if a hyperlink is inputted to show as a clickable "View MSA".

I am able to achieve the latter as a clickable link but can't seem to get the if empty/blank working using IF statement.

 

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "a",
  "attributes": {
    "href": "@currentField",
    "target": "_blank"
  },
  "txtContent": "View MSA"
}

Thank you. I see where I went wrong.

@Harry_Kane Try using this JSON: 

 

{
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
    "elmType": "div",
    "children": [
        {
            "elmType": "span",
            "txtContent": "NA",
            "style": {
                "display": "=if(@currentField, 'none', 'block')"
            }
        },
        {
            "elmType": "a",
            "attributes": {
                "href": "@currentField",
                "target": "_blank"
            },
            "txtContent": "View MSA",
            "style": {
                "display": "=if(@currentField, 'block', 'none')"
            }
        }
    ]
}
