String concatenate with new line

[Perumal]

I am trying to concatenate set of Text values with new line in between. I can't find way to add new line, tried "\n", which does not works. I am using Concatenate function.

Hi

Would you consider using html textbox?

Although html5 is not fully supported (e.g.: Table is OK, but border not supported), most of the html5 syntax can be used in PowerApps.

Thanks for your suggestion.

My case:

---------------

I have a screen with set of TextInput boxes. On button click, I want to send a mail with values entered in the input boxes. In the mail, each value should be on a new line.

Hi

I have a series of Useful Features of PowerApps, and I remember it is No. 12, explain about how to use:

- Collection + Concatenate + Concate...to email with html format.

Hope it helps.

The results from my Shopping Apps is sent to out with results as follow (this is actual results).

Hope this really helps.

(I spent weeks on this and wish it is what you want as no guidance in LEARN Tutorial)

Okay, I can understand there is no direct way to a add concatenate new line with strings, we need to use a hidden HTML text control. 

Thanks for your solution.

Hi Perumal,

You can add a new line by using Ctrl+Enter in the formula bar, and new lines are perfectly valid withing quoted strings. Type the following formula for example:

"Hello" & "

" & "world"

Notice how there is a line break within the quotes.

Thanks @davidni, I will try it.

Even though this post accepted a solution, for the record please note that you can append newline (CR) characters to any string.

    "new" & Char(13) & "line"

or:

    "new" & "

    " & "line"

If you need CRLF sequences instead, please use Char(13) & Char(10).

I'm finding that when I use the newline in the text box

"My title

Has 2 lines"

It looks correct initially. But when I preview the app or reopen the app, the line break remains in the fx field, but visually, the linebreak has been removed entirely.

Visual representation:

My titleHas 2 lines
