How to Use User-Defined Functions and User-Defined Types in Canvas Apps
Microsoft is introducing User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in PowerApps, which allows users to create their own custom functions tailored to their app's needs. This feature eliminates the need for repetitive code and allows for simple updates across the app. UDFs can be combined with User-Defined Types (UDTs) to handle complex data like records or tables. To use UDFs and UDTs in PowerApps, users need to enable these options in the Experimental tab under Settings. An example use case for UDFs is a tax calculator that can be reused across different forms, while an example use case for UDTs is a product inventory system that groups related fields into a single structure. Overall, UDFs and UDTs enhance the flexibility and maintainability of PowerApps.
