    Are you using modern control?
     
    I have tested here i can't reproduce that.
     
    i created one input field and two other controls: TextField and Input Field. in both case show the text that I wrote.

    At least for how I was taught math, to solve (2+3) * 2=
    1. First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: (2 + 3 = 5).
    2. Then, multiply the result by 2: (5 times 2 = 10).
    3. So, the answer is 10. 😊

    I am not aware of a PowerApps function that can evaluate an expression (similar to Power Query's Expression.Evaluate)
