Hi,

This is going to be something stupid I know but I am having a problem with retrieving the text entered into the control I am using TextInput.Text but PowerApps keeps telling me that "The '.' operator cannot be used on Text values."
Anybody any ideas why its doing this?

Thanks

Hi,

Can I get more details? I assume you are trying to use the text entered into a text_input control.

What control are you using that you would like to 'retrieve' it into?

In the image, I used it in a text, text input and dropdown. Let me know how i can help by giving me what control you are trying to show it in.

Hi

Could you post a screenshot or describe the full formula that you're using to reference TextInput.Text?

Thanks,

I have a pop up form for an inventory system I am trying to log inventory changes, so as I prepare to patch to update the inventory table I am trying to set a couple of variables

Set(varInbound, If(IsNumeric(TextInputInboundStock.Text), Value(TextInputInboundStock.Text), 0));

Set(varOutbound, If(IsNumeric(TextInputOutboundStock.Text), Value(TextInputOutboundStock.Text), 0));

Set(varCost, If(IsNumeric(TextInputCost.Text), Value(TextInputCost.Text), 0));

Set(varNetStockChange, (varInbound-varOutbound));

Set(varNotes, TextInputNotes.Text);

Set(varNetStockChange, (varInbound-varOutbound));

Thanks

Hi

Please share the entire thing you are typing, because its something to do with what you have around it not it specifically.

Make sure to over share :-)
