invalid number of arguments

Hello,

everytime i place the simple formula

Set(MyVar, "Hello Power Apps")

into the OnVisible property of a screen it gives two error messages

1. Error:

the first opening Parantheses says: invalid number of arguments: recieved 1, expected 2

This error prevails no matter what i type as the second argument.

2. Error:

the comma to seperate the arguments says: The formula contains "Error" when "ParenClose" is expected.

I suppose the error is very simple and due to my limited experience.

Hope someone can help. Thanks and bye.

Hi @CD00131 ,

If you are using European syntax, it would be

Set(MyVar; "Hello Power Apps")

That is odd.
Do you have any functions before this or after?

This is a typical bug with European PowerApps developers, as we tend to watch tutorials were the user in the tutorial is American and the syntax there uses , (comma) to do the separation in functions.
