Refresh the contents of a Text Label based on a Timer

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 311

I have a Text Label which also contains the details of a variable which is constantly updating. I have created a timer on-screen set at 1 second intervals, on repeat. I need to "re-read" or refresh the content in the Text Label, which has to reflect the changes in the variable. I understand that Refresh() and UpdateContext will not work in this instance - but I hoping for another method to force the Text Label to refresh?

Thanks!

    Wouldn't it be possible to use the Timer's OnTimerEnd/Start properties to update the variable? So the Label would get the value of the variable.

    Thanks for your response. It doesn't matter that I could refresh the variable using a timer - the Text Label remains static, from when you first access the Screen. That's what I am attempting to get powerapps to "re-read" every second.
