PowerApps does not recognize more than one formula

I'm having this issue with a lot of formulas, for example:


Remove(measures; TemplateGalleryList1.Selected) ; UpdateContext({confirmation: false)} ; Navigate(View)


The first formula works perfectly fine, but when I add the others, it's not recognized as a formula and keeps showing error messages.
"Unexpected characters". It doesn't work using a comma as well.

    Had the same problem. It worked with ";;" as a formula divisor

    Hi @daniellemarques,

     

    If your language uses comma as a decimal separator, then the list separator is a semicolon (;) , and to chain functions you need a double semicolon (;;). Try the following:

     

    Remove(measures; TemplateGalleryList1.Selected);; UpdateContext({confirmation: false});;Navigate(View);;

     

    Reference regarding language dependent formula separators below.

    Hi @daniellemarques 

     

    I see a couple syntax issues, try this:

     

    Remove(measures, TemplateGalleryList1.Selected); UpdateContext({confirmation: false}); Navigate(View);
