PowerApps - If the user selects a value from the dropdown to navigate to a specific screen

Question

I have completed all my screens in PowerApps and I am now trying to setup the navigation.

My dropdown is named Dropdown1
The dropdown value in question is Employement
The screen that I want the user to go to if he/she selects Employement in the dropdown is called Section 3 Other Mirror
the screen that I want the user to go to if he/she selects any other choice in the dropdown is called Section 4 VP Setup

Current formula: If(Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "Employement"; Navigate('Section 3 Other Mirror',ScreenTransition.Cover)

Error: Unexpected characters. 'ParenClose' where 'Eof' is expected.

You can make a collection in the OnStart section with for example:

[
  {
     Name: "Employers",
     ScreenName: [@Screen1]
  },
  {
    Name: "Admins",
    ScreenName: [@Screen2]
  }
]

If you put this collection on a dropdown, you could use your navigate via the OnSelect of a button as follow:

Navigate( Dropdown.Selected.ScreenName, YourTransitionStyle )

Saves a lot of rewriting in lots of places.

Fixed. I had to turn on the OnSelect in order to reach the values.
