General Questions regarding Search

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

i have a general Question to PowerApps and Search Function.

 

On all manuals and Tutorials the Syntax of Search shoud be:

 Search( Table, SearchBox1.Text, "Title")

The arguments are seperated with a "," - if i work with that my Search doesnt work. If i work with a ";" it works...

what it correct? and why is it in all Manuals or youtube Videos working with "," ?

    Hi @Anonymous

     

    I suspect that you're using PowerApps on a non English computer. If that's the case, what language are you using? If your language uses the comma symbol as the decimal point seperator symbol, you would need to use a semi-colon in the places where we would normally use a comma. My post here explains this in more detail.
