How to Use the Power Fx RemoveĀ  Function in Power Apps

What is the Power Fx Remove Function?

The Power Fx Remove function is a string manipulation function that enables users to remove a specified number of characters from a string. It takes two arguments: the string to be modified and the number of characters to remove. The function returns a new string with the specified number of characters removed.

How to Use the Power Fx Remove Function?

Using the Power Fx Remove function in Power Apps is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Open the Power Apps Studio and create a new app or open an existing app.

2. Create a new text input control or use an existing control, and set its default text property to a string value.

3. Create a new label control or use an existing control, and set its text property to the following formula:


Remove(TextInput1.Text, 3)


In this formula, the Remove function is used to remove three characters from the TextInput1 control's Text property.

4. Save and run the app.

When the app is run, the label control will display the modified string returned by the Remove function. In this case, it will display the original string with the first three characters removed.

Additional Options for the Power Fx Remove Function

The Power Fx Remove function provides additional options that enable users to modify the behavior of the function for specific use cases. These options include:

- The Start Argument: This argument specifies the position in the string to start removing characters from. By default, the function starts from the beginning of the string. For example, Remove("Hello World", 3, 2) will remove two characters starting from the third position in the string, resulting in "Helo World".

- The Count Argument: This argument specifies the number of characters to remove. By default, the function removes one character. For example, Remove("Hello World", 3, 4) will remove four characters starting from the third position in the string, resulting in "He World".

- The CaseSensitive Argument: This argument specifies whether the function should be case sensitive. By default, the function is not case sensitive. For example, Remove("Hello World", 3, 2, true) will remove two characters starting from the third position in the string, but it will be case sensitive, resulting in "Hllo World".

The Power Fx Remove function is a powerful tool that enables users to manipulate strings with ease in Power Apps.
