I am newbie to Power Apps and have created a gallery and form. Within the form I need to validate the data entered to ensure the contents are in Proper case. I've tried numerous syntax in the App but none seem to work. I would be grateful if someone could explain to me how to achieve this.
Many thanks for taking the time to help me.
Hi @CiaranMc
The Proper function returns the proper case given an input.
In your submit button, you can call this function to validate the input.
If(txtInputTextBox.Text = Proper(txtInputTextBox.Text), SubmitForm(EditForm1), Notify("Error - please use proper case") )
Hi Timl
Thank you for your reply and time. May I ask if it is possible to add this to a data card and use so that an error is produced at the point of adding a lower or upper case word into the datacard.
Sorry for the additional question and lack.of clarity on my behalf.
Yes, that's possible. You can add a label in your data card with the error message and set the Visible property to this:
(DataCardValue8.Text <> Proper(DataCardValue8.Text))
By doing this, the label will only appear when the input isn't in proper case.
Thank you so much. I've spent so much time trying to do this myself, without success. This will help me enormously. Respect to you.
Thanks @CiaranMc, I'm glad that helped!
