Managing locale dependent units in a Model Driven Power App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

I'm writing a model driven Power App.   In the underlying database I have a unit measure area.   I'll always store the data in the database in Hectares.   But for users based in the US I need to convert the unit to Acres for display and, when they enter a value, convert it back to Hectares for storage.

 

I think in a canvas Athis would be ~straightforward, but is there any way that I can do it in a model driven app?

 

Many thanks for any help.

    Hi,

     

    These may interest you:

    Forms fields hide/show based on User’s Security Role - Microsoft Dynamics CRM Forum Community Forum

    dynamics crm - D365 Open a different Form depending on a field-value in UCI (eg: Contact Type) - Stack Overflow

     

    A simpler approach would be to create 2 forms and enforce Security Roles in them. You wolud then have to give your users the appropriate Security Role and work out the logic for the columns (calculated columns can check if another column has data or not and act accordingly).
