Misformulated text

[TonieStark]

This page needs to be remade.

The first example of conditional formulas doesn't hide the column if true, but instead shows it.

Please fix this!

Hi,

Hmm, that is really weird, I have the opposite behaviour and use the same type of columns, single text for show/hide and choice in the actual formula.

But also, look at these blog posts (from well known sites):
https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/conditional-formula-to-show-hide-columns-in-sharepoint-list
https://sharepointmaven.com/how-to-hide-a-field-in-sharepoint-lists-and-libraries-with-the-conditional-formula/

As well as this "First look at Microsofts Lists" by Miceile Barett-MSFT (look from 12:45)

And this one with Lincoln DeMaris-MSFT (look from 29:45):

Sooo, they all say, including me, that when the condition is true, show the selected column, otherwise hide it.

Please review this internally, thanks!

Any progress on the internal discussions?
