Valid_If chaged?

Just spent 30mins trying to diagnose a problem that didnโ€™t even existโ€ฆ

As far as I knew Valid_If functions are calculated on each change made in a form. In the App Iโ€™ve just been working on they donโ€™t show up until you click save. Then they show on every change.

Iโ€™ve been going in circles because even this simple formula didnโ€™t show the default red error message UNITL you clicked save.
IF(
AND([Location]=โ€œAllโ€,[Stage]=โ€œAllโ€,[SubSection]=โ€œAllโ€,[Item]=โ€œAllโ€),
FALSE,
TRUE)

All 4 columns were clearly โ€œALLโ€ and you could even edit text boxes and other items in the form without the message showing.

If you are using the expression for the current rowโ€™s form ebtry filling and checking valid_if, I believe you may wish to add [_THISROW] before each column AND( [_THISROW].[Location],โ€ฆ)

Tried that, makes no difference

Hi @1minManager,

I am unaware what could be challenge. My testing shows it works. And it works even without [_THISROW]

Someone else may have inputs for you.
