Hello,

I'm coming across an errors where I'm not able to Concatenate 2 fields into one.

Also tried doing subtraction from 2 fields. Am I missing some setting within Power Apps?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Prakash

hey

which error message are u getting? what kind of column types do u use? looks like they are no number columns.

if they are text column use this:

Value(DataCardValue13.Text) - Value(DataCardValue5.Text)

and for concatenate:

Text(DataCardValue13.Text) & " " & Text(DataCardValue5.Text)

if it helped please mark as verified answer,

cheers

Hi,

You need to add .Value or .Text to the end of your datacards

Concatenate(DataCardValue10.Value,DataCardValue11.Value)

You can also do it a couple of other ways

DataCardValue10.Value & DataCardValue11.Value $"{DataCardValue10.Value}{DataCardValue11.Value}"

Thanks! Both the solutions works for me now.

But I'm sorry, as I was not clear in the initial post.

For Concatenate - one of my column in a drop down and one of the column in a text column. And this does not gives the desired result.

Please advise.

Hi Prem4253

Assuming these are Classic controls, I think you need if you are going to simply join the text strings with a space
DataCardValue13.Text & " " & drpLocation.Selected.Value

If you are trying to subtract the values and both product numeric results then
Value(DataCardValue13.Text) - Value(drpLocation.Selected.Value)
