Power Apps as a calculator

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi everyone, I think I have a crazy question here. I am new to Power Apps and the whole Power Platform.

I want to create a Power Apps that sole works as a calculator inside a Power BI report, I dont want Power Apps to use the Power BI data. The idea is for the user to go to the Power BI report see some lab results, and then the user can add to a side calculator (Power Apps) their own values, power apps run some equations behind the scene and display results. I dont want Power Apps to store user data and I dont want Power Apps to use Power BI data. Again, I just want Power Apps to be a calculator. Is this possible?

thank you

Gustavo

    Hi @gustavocruz 

     

    You can directly import the reusable calculator component on your app screen and add it to the report.
     
     
    Steps:
    1) In your PowerApps Editor, select components from left menu (just beside screen)
    2) Select three dots and select Import Components. There you can upload the msapp file.
     
     
    Hope this Helps!

    go to PowerApps Studio and add a new screens on App, after, insert also 3 Text Inputs (for number 1, number 2 and the result) and 5 Buttons (for math operators and reset) like this structure:


    Now, on the Text Inputs select format = number and OnChange use Set function to valorize the numbers N1 and N2:

    Set(N1, TextInputNum1)

    Set(N2, TextInputNum2)


    On Text Input for result, you can only specify the default value with the value of the global variable result:


    Now, on the 4 buttons OnSelect use UpdateContext to execute the operation (+, -, *, /):

    UpdateContext({result: N1+N2})

    UpdateContext({result: N1-N2})

    UpdateContext({result: N1/N2})

    UpdateContext({result: N1*N2})


    Finally, you manage the reset button utilizing UpdateContext for reset the global variable and Reset function to reset the Text Input for number 1 and number 2:

    UpdateContext({result: 0}); Reset(TextInputNum1); Reset(TextInputNum2); Reset(TextInputResult)
