Posted on by 142 Season of Giving Solutions 2025

Hi,

 

My user wanted to see that after she have entered an amount ex. 123. it will become 123.00 once out of focus. I only got to the point where it will be formatted after saving using the default property. Wanted to check if my use case is possible in power apps.

    @powerdevkris - not the answer you will want to hear, but it is not possible to format a Text Input control even if the Text Input control is not actively selected. You can however display the formatted value in a separate Label control and hide that Label control conditionally.

     

    For example, when your EditForm is in View Mode, you can hide the Text Input control and make the Label visible, and when the Form is in New or Edit Mode, you can display the Text Input control and hide the Label control.

    Hi @powerdevkris ,

    You can do it but very messy. I also assume you want to display existing data source field values in there.
    Firstly, your Text input (Classic Control example here) needs to be set as Text (not Number). Also set the DelayOutput to true
    OnSelect of the Text Input

    UpdateContext({varValue: Blank()})

    also put this after your SubmitForm code and at Screen OnVisible
    . OnChange of the Text Input

    If(
     IsNumeric(Self.Text),
     UpdateContext(
     {
     varValue: 
     Text(
     Value(Self.Text),
     "###.00"
     )
     }
     )
    )

    Now the Default of the Text Input

    Coalesce(
     varValue,
     Text(
     ThisItem.YourNumberField,
     "###.00"
     )
    )

    and last the Update of the Data Card

    Value(YourTextInputName.Text)
