PowerApps. Changing coding language

Question

Hi All.

I am new to PowerApps and this is driving me crazy.

There are a lot of videos, Co-Pilot and ChatGPT that can help with creating new Apps and functions. This is all good. But the thing I am running into every time I look at some How-to is that the coding symbols are different from what is shown and what works for me.

Eg.

This do not work

Filter(datasource,datarow = TextInput.Text)

This works.

Filter(datasource;datarow = TextInput.Text)

The difference is comma/semicolon. From what I can google the problem are that my coding language are set to local and not English/International. But after having changed my language to English everywhere I can find it still do not recognize it.

Has anyone tried this and found out where to change it so it works?? 

Regards.

Johan

Hi JohanGR,

Syntax of filter would be filter (Datasource, filter condition). It should be comma it won't be the semicolon. For better understanding I have provided few examples in below.

For example, to filter records in a SharePoint list where the 'Status' column equals "Completed", you would use:

This would return all records from the SharePointList where the 'Status' column equals "Completed".

For example, if you have a collection named "MyCollection" and you want to filter it to only include items where the "Status" field is "Completed", the syntax would be:

This would return a subset of items from "MyCollection" where the "Status" field is equal to "Completed".
