In this video, you will learn how to make your very own random text function with PowerApps. Why? Because PowerApps doesn't have one and when you are testing sometimes random strings are just handy.

Really cool thing @Shanescows,
Gamers get all the time those Tips during waiting time. Why not adapt that to our apps.
1. I created a Dataverse Table but still works with SharePoint List
2. Filled the Table with Random Facts (Text)
3. Added the Data Source to PowerApps
4. Add a Button Control and changed the following:
4.1 Repeat : TRUE
4.2 Auto Start: TRUE
4.3 OnTimerEnd:
ClearCollect(CollectionFacts,{Fact: First(Shuffle(RandomFacts)).Fact})
4.4 TimerDuration: As you wish
5. Add a Label to the Screen
5.1 Change the Text to following
Shuffle(RandomFacts).Facts
See here:
I can't get this to work. What does the 'FACTS' part do in your last snippet? @RiccoHipp1903
Getting a 'is not a text value' error...
Maybe Try the Text Label with the following
First(CollectionFacts).Fact
