Hi @KA-25080858-0

It is difficult to give you a complete explanation about an entire language.

* Power FX is the language that is built into Excel

* Power FX is the language for Power Apps, Copilot

It supposed thousands of expressions (think functions) for Math, String, Dates, Times, JSON, you name it.

If you were building canvas apps for instance here is an entire Formula/Expression reference for examples

Formula reference - canvas apps - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

Here is the reference for Power Automate Desktop Flows

Formula reference - desktop flows - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

simple and powerful.

If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

Thank you!
Sincerely, Michael Gernaey

I haven't run into a situation where I would need Power Fx and there for haven't really used it in any real RPA process. Just tested somethings.

If someone has an example of how it was better to use Power Fx I would be interested to hear that. Maybe there are some ready made expressions that can make some steps more compact with lesser actions.
Power Fx enabled flows has had some bugs since its much newer addition to PAD but many most likely have been fixed.

It feels to me that its not as easy to learn to build Power Fx flows as it is to build regular PAD flows for a newbie (Power Apps or Excel veteran could disagree) and most tutorials/documentation are for regular flows. So I would always recommend starting with regular flows.
