URL Parameters: Spaces in Values

Posted on by swt

Is it possible to pass values with spaces into URL parameters?

For example,

https://web.powerapps.com/apps/[APP GUID]?Name=Jane Doe

I've tried leaving it as shown above, enclosing the string with single quotation marks, and replacing the spaces with "%20", "_x0020_" and "+", but none of these work.

Replace the ? with &
https://web.powerapps.com/apps/[APP GUID]?Name=Jane Doe

with
https://web.powerapps.com/apps/[APP GUID]&Name=Jane Doe

Sorry forgot to add: In case you don't know, to read your param use: Param("Name")

@swt
What problem are you having specifically about the parameter passed in?
Powerapps will encode the spaces in the URL as +
I don't believe there is any way around that. So, for your case, if you encode with %20, it will convert to +
The best you can do is Substitute(Param("Name"), "+", " ")
As long as your not passing a +, this will get you your results.

Hope that helps.
