Text function to format numbers, working in browser but not on phones

Posted on by JCD-JTP 66

Hi,

 

I'm using this function to allow only one decimal, and it's working fine on PC in browser (Chrome and Edge).

But on phones and tablet, inside the PowerApps app it does not work.

 

The function:

Text(Value(ThisItem.Hours),"#.0")

 

On PC:

On phone:

I have put in a label, to be sure it's running the same version...

    Hi @JCD-JTP ,

     

    I tested it with SharePoint list and excel table as the data source of Gallery, and the result can display one decimal correctly on the phones. Could you tell what your data source looks like? ( Example: column data format )

     

    Best Regards,

    Jessica Gu

    Hi @v-JessicaG-msft 

     

    The dataformat is number but calculated.

    Hi @JCD-JTP ,

    SharePoint calculated columns do not "play well" with Power Apps - do the same calculation in Power Apps and it should work fine.

    Hi @WarrenBelz,

    It's just funny that it works flawless on the computer, but not on mobile devices.

    But I guess I will have to try putting the logic in the app...

    Hi @JCD-JTP ,

    Yes, they are fairly inconsistent, so I simply do not bother with them when the same thing can be done in Power Apps.
