Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm wondering if its possible in powerapps to have auto number in one field between texts for example

"APX"autoNumber "DPN". 

concatenate may do it but the prblem there will be duplicate in auto number which I don't want to have duplicate.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I assume that function concatenate will work for you.

    According to your description, I have made a simple test likes below:

    Add a Text input control and a Label on the screen.

    Set the Text property of the label with the following code:

    Concatenate("APX ",TextInput1.Text," DPX")

    Please check it for a reference.

    Please feel free post back if you need more help.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel
