Rounding Functionality in PowerApps

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by MrQuarry

I'm working on building my first App. A fairly simple calculator to multiply a cost per SF. But I'd like for the final result to be number rounded to the nearest thousand. The application is working when calculating actual numbers but I can't get the rounding functionality to work. I've looked at a few examples but none of them are working for me.

Calculator is using a user entered SF (TextInput2) multiplied by a dropdown value based on Building type. The formula for that works great - UpdateContext({Result: Dropdown1.Selected.PerSF * TextInput2})

But when I try to modify based on some online examples, it's not rounding.

Round(UpdateContext({Result: Dropdown1.Selected.PerSF * TextInput2}), 2) *1000

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Hi @MrQuarry ,

It seems your nesting order is wrong: you are first setting the Result and then rounding it. can you try:

UpdateContext({ Result: Round( Dropdown1.Selected.PerSF * TextInput2, 2) * 1000 })

Hi @MrQuarry ,
I believe you have the wrong order for the formula. As the UpdateContext must be first then:

UpdateContext({Result: Round(Dropdown1.Selected.PerSF * TextInput2, 2) * 1000})
