Trimming text in a user input box

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 206

I found users adding spaces to the end of text input boxes for some reason, and this reared itself when looking to do comparisons on the data. 

 

What is the best method to avoid this at the application level?

 

Thanks

    I hope this will save someone the time of looking through long videos.

     

    To trim text in a PowerApps text input box, you can use the Trim function. The Trim function removes all spaces from a string of text except for single spaces between words. If you want to remove all spaces from the input string, you can use the Substitute function.

     

    Here’s an example of how to use the Trim function on the update property of the card for your field: Trim (Field.Text)

     Once you do this, your SubmitForm function should submit the record and trim the field
