SharePoint List conditional formula "if" "Or"

Question

SharePoint List conditional formula "if" "Or"

Muki 76

In the [$IncidentType] selection box i have the following selections

"privacy"
"Compliance"
"Consult"
"Audit"

and the form works correctly to hide / show fields. What i'm wondering is can the formula be adjusted so that the if the user selects "privacy" or "consult" that the field will show or hide.

=if([$IncidentType] == 'Privacy', 'true', 'false')

Hi @Muki
You could use the following conditional formula:

=if([$IncidentType] == 'Privacy'||[$IncidentType] == 'Consult', 'true', 'false')

As a result, when the field in "IncidentType" column, the conditional column will be shown, otherwise will not.

Your reply was so helpful!

I am looking to do the same thing except with three conditions. I want the PRIORITY column to be shown only if the STATUS column is equal to Being Updated, or New Development < 50%, or New Development > 50%.

Using your sample, I wrote this:

=if([$STATUS] == 'Being Updated'||[$STATUS] == 'New Development < 50%'||[$STATUS] == 'New Development > 50%', 'true', 'false')

It did not generate an error message and I was able to save it, but the formatting is not working. The conditional column (PRIORITY) is hidden for all selected statuses.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

I was searching and searching for an IF OR formula that would work in SharePoint, and this worked for me. THANK YOU!

Christine - I had the same issue, and it was due to the column being required. I had to undo any requirements on the columns first and then enter the conditional formatting. Once I knew everything was working correctly, I reset my requirements.

Answer 3

Hi @Yi Lu_MSFT !

I have a question I hope you have the solution. I created a SharePoint list with a multi-choice field called "Equipo" that can take several values at the same time. I have tried the following:

"background-color": "=if([$Equipo]=='FA','#FFF3D6',if([$Equipo]=='GC','#DEF7EB','#E7E7EE'))"

It worked when "Equipo" was a Choice field. However, I needed this field to be multi-choice, and now it is not working. I would like that if Equipo has one option, card looks with a particular color. Otherwise (several options selected), in white.

Where is the issue?

Thanks in advance
