How to Use the Power Fx Right  Function in Power Apps

What is the Power Fx Right Function?

The Right function in Power Fx is used to extract a specific number of characters from the end of a text string. For example, if you have a text string that reads “Hello world”, and you want to extract the last 5 characters, you would use the Right function. The syntax for the Right function is as follows:


Right(❰text❱, ❰num_chars❱)


Where `❰text❱` is the text string you want to extract characters from, and `❰num_chars❱` is the number of characters you want to extract.

Using the Power Fx Right Function in Power Apps

To use the Power Fx Right function in Power Apps, you first need to create a text input control. This will allow you to enter the text string you want to extract characters from. To create a text input control, simply drag and drop the Text Input control from the toolbox onto your form.

Next, you need to create a label control that will display the extracted characters. To create a label control, drag and drop the Label control from the toolbox onto your form.

Now that you have your controls set up, you can use the following steps to use the Power Fx Right function in Power Apps:

1. Select the label control you created in step 2.

2. In the properties pane, locate the Text property.

3. Click the fx button next to the Text property to open the formula bar.

4. In the formula bar, enter the following formula:


Right(TextInput1.Text, 5)


5. Replace "TextInput1" with the name of your input control, and replace "5" with the number of characters you want to extract.

6. Press the Enter key to apply the formula.

Now, when you enter text into the text input control, the label control will display the last 5 characters of the text string. You can adjust the number of characters to extract by changing the number in the formula.

Additional Tips and Tricks

Here are some additional tips and tricks for using the Power Fx Right function in Power Apps:

- You can use the Right function in combination with other functions, such as the Len function, to extract a dynamic number of characters from a text string.

- If you want to extract all the characters from the end of a text string, you can use the following formula:


Right(TextInput1.Text, Len(TextInput1.Text))


- If you want to extract characters from the middle of a text string, you can use the Mid function instead of the Right function. The syntax for the Mid function is as follows:


Mid(❰text❱, ❰start❱, ❰num_chars❱)


Where `❰text❱` is the text string you want to extract characters from, `❰start❱` is the position of the first character you want to extract, and `❰num_chars❱` is the number of characters you want to extract.

- You can use the Left function to extract characters from the beginning of a text string. The syntax for the Left function is as follows:


Left(❰text❱, ❰num_chars❱)


Where `❰text❱` is the text string you want to extract characters from, and `❰num_chars❱` is the number of characters you want to extract.
