How to Set Power Apps Checkbox Value

Let’s see how to set the Power Apps checkbox value using two examples. Such as:

1. Power Apps Checkbox Value Manually
2. How to set Power Apps Checkbox Value from SharePoint List

Power Apps Checkbox Value Manually

In Power Apps, there is a checkbox control, and this control contains the below manual value, i.e., [Check Now].

Refer to the below screenshot:

To do so, select the Checkbox control and set its Text property to the code below.

Text = "Check Now"

This is how to set the Power Apps checkbox value.

Set Power Apps Checkbox Value from SharePoint List

Here, we will see how to set a PowerApps checkbox value from the SharePoint list with a simple scenario:

Scenario:

I have a SharePoint list Online named “Product Details”. This list contains the below fields.

In Power Apps, there is a Checkbox control, a gallery control, and a Text input control. When the user selects any product name from the checkbox control inside the gallery, the Text input control displays the selected product price as in the screenshot below.

To achieve it, follow the below steps. Such as:

1. On the Power Apps screen -> Insert a Blank flexible gallery control and set its Items property as:

Items = 'Product Details'

Where,

• ‘Product Details’ = SharePoint Online List

2. Then, insert a Checkbox control inside the gallery and set its Text property to the code below.

Text = ThisItem.Title

Where,

• Title = SharePoint list text field

3. Whenever we add a Check box control, we can select multiple check box values. However, our requirement is only to select a single check box value instead of multiple selections.

4. To do so, set the Check box’s OnCheck, Default, and DisplayMode properties as shown below.

OnCheck = Set(
    varCheck,                                                                             //OnCheck Property
    gal_EmployeeDepartments.Selected.Title
)

Default = varCheck=ThisItem.Title                              //Default Property

DisplayMode = If(
    varCheck = ThisItem.Title,                                           //DisplayMode Property
    DisplayMode.View,
    DisplayMode.Edit
)

Where,

• varCheck = Power Apps Variable Name
• gal_EmployeeDepartments = Power Apps Gallery Name

5. In the last, insert a Text input control and set its Default property to the code below.

Default = LookUp(
    'Product Details',
    Title = chk_Departments.Text
).Price

Where,

• LookUp() = This function uses LookUp to find a single record that matches one or more criteria
• ‘Product Details’ = SharePoint Online List
• chk_Departments = Power Apps Checkbox Name
• Price = SharePoint list Currency Column

6. Save, Publish, and Privew the app. Whenever the user selects any product name from the checkbox control inside the gallery, the Text input control displays the selected product price as in the screenshot below.

This is how to set a PowerApps checkbox value from the SharePoint list.

Power Apps If the Checkbox is Checked

In this section, I will explain the Power Apps if the checkbox is checked with a simple scenario:

Scenario:

In Power Apps, there is a Checkbox control, a Button control, and a Text label. Whenever the user clicks on the button control, the text label will display the text, i.e., [Check is Checked or Check box is Not Checked] based on the check box selection [If checked or not].

Refer to the below screenshot:

To do so, follow the below steps.

1. On the Power Apps Screen -> Insert a Checkbox control and set its Text property to the code below.

Text = "Terms and Conditions"

2. Then, insert a Button control and set its OnSelect property to the code below.

OnSelect = Set(
    varChecked,
    If(
        chk_Selected.Value = true,
        "Check Box is Checked",
        chk_Selected.Value = false,
        "Check Box is Not Checked"
    )
)

Where,

• varChecked = Power Apps Global Variable Name
• If() = The Power Apps IF() Function performs a logical comparison to see if the result is true
• chk_Selected = Power Apps Checkbox name

3. Next, insert a Text label and set its Text property as:

Text = varChecked

4. Once your app is ready, Save, Publish, and Preview the app. When the user clicks on the button control, the text label will appear with text based on the checkbox selection [If Checked or Not] as in the screenshot below.

This is all about the Power Apps if the checkbox is checked.

I will also take the above SharePoint Online List [Product Details] for this example. In Power Apps, there is a Gallery control having the SharePoint list “Title records”, a Button control, and a Text label.

            gal_Products.AllItems,
            chk_ProductNames.Value
        ),
        Title & ","
    )
)

Where,

• varCheckedItems = Power Apps Global Variable Name
