Power Apps Ideas

Lots of PowerApps developers waste hours of their lives trying to figure out: - What type of object am I dealing with - What properties does a certain object have One good solution would be to add a simple label where, in Text property we could specify something like Stringify(My_Object_OrArray) I hope it's not that hard to implement, but the amount of time we could save on debugging would be massive. Plus, passing JSON objects to MS Flows or other connectors would be extremely useful.

Could we have the ability to create a custom fucntion for a PowerApp. For example if I had the following function CountRows(Filter(Request, CurrentStatus = "New Request", SiteTypeGallery.Selected.SiteTypeId = ParentSiteType.SiteTypeId)) If wanted to use it for different types of status, it would be good to be able to create a custom function / macro somewhere called StatusCount that takes two parameters status and sitetypeid. This would make it cleaner and also save have to go through each of the controls that use this to udate it if the condtion changes.

Would be great if PowerApps would support base64 encoding and decoding. Native would be ideal so this could drive offline. I would like to be able to communicate with an image OCR API.

Hi, it is really a big step forward to reduce the effect of the "500 records limit" by extending the delegation for ClearCollect and Collect functions, or create a new function to store the whole table or entity locally, which will drastically improve performance in our apps. Regards, Mohammad

Please add the Networkdays function in a similar way to the Excel function that calculates the working days between two dates.

I love PowerApps but struggle with functions. As per Audrie's suggestion, I started to save my functions in OneNote which is a great reference. My idea is to start a Function Library on this site so everyone could add tested functions with a brief description of how it works. Vote if you like this idea. Suep

Please add: logarithm exp product (similar to Sum) factorial binomial coefficient
