Hi,

 

I have powerapp connected to excel table.

When I add datacard in the powerapp to show the unit price ($#.##),

  • instead of showning the numberic value.
  • the datacardvalue is shown as date + time stamp.

I tried below method but still can't find a solution to it:

  • Inserting below code on the default property.
  • Text(Parent.Default,"[$-en-US]$#.00")
  • The excel table's reference column is formatted in accounting ($) with 2 decimal (#.##)

 

Thank you in an advance

    Excel is a terrible datasource. Column formats should be text, numbers or date/time only but don't change it. Changing the schema of a column after it has been imported into powerapps can corrupt it. Instead delete it and start over with a new table.  Better yet, move the data to SharePoint.

    After changing the cell format from accounting to number fixed the issue.

     

    The excel database is already uploaded on the Sharepoint.
