    Hi @knyklu,

     

    I found a post on the Power Platform Community forum that might help you. In the post, a user asked how to validate text input for numbers with period in PowerApps.

     

    You can also try the IsMatch function and a regular expression. Here’s an example formula to validate text input for numbers with period:

    IsMatch(TextInput1.Text, "^\\d+(\\.\\d+)?$")

    This formula will return true if the text input contains a number with a period and false otherwise.

     

    Thanks,

    @SunilPashikanti

    Hi @knyklu ,

     

    Sorry for that, can you please try the below code:

     

    IsMatch(TextInput1.Text, "^\d+(\.\d+)?$")

     

    This code works for below validations:

    Thanks, works perfect.

    BTW, I wish MS Access is dying. In it everything was so easy.
