How to use Named Formulas in Power Apps


Named Formulas were recently introduced into Power Apps. They allow you to take complex formulas away from the code in your app and put them in a single place. However, there are some things to keep in mind when using Named Formulas. First, each named formula must end with a semicolon for it to be valid. Second, Named Formulas may not update automatically in certain situations. For example, if a named formula depends on something that changes, like time or a data source, it will not update unless triggered. To trigger an update, you can refresh the data source or update a control on the screen. Named Formulas are updated whenever something in the expression changes, such as a data source refresh, user input, or changes in global variables. Overall, Named Formulas can optimize your app, but it's important to use them correctly and understand their limitations.
