Hello All,

I made a power app which gets user location (Lat,long) on button click. Now i have a new requirement i don't want user to use App when they are in office.

so i thought of putting an IF clause which will work on a range of Lat long and when Lat long range will fall under the office range Lat Long ,it will give error.

I am not sure if it will be possible that way , Please advise if anyone have a better solution or idea how to achieve this they way i am thinking.

that's how i am getting lat long on a filed

 UpdateContext({LocVarAS:Location.Latitude & "," & Location.Longitude});

Hi @SachinG31 ,

Simplistically, pick a distance from both Latitude and Longitude that they cannot exceed. I have a much more complicated formula for exact distance (although this is still a radius circle), but at the equator, one degree is 111 kilometres, meaning 0.0001 of a degree is 11.1 metres (round it to 10 metres for this purpose) so if you had the Lat/Long of your office as LocVarOL, and you did not want them to exceed 50 metres

If( Abs(LocVarAS.Latitude - LocVarOL.Latitude) > 0.0005 || Abs(LocVarAS.Langitude - LocVarOL.Longitude) > 0.0005, YourStopCodeHere, // more than 50 metres away YourRunCodeHere )
