Prevent users from pasting data to PowerApps

Posted on by MartinN2

Hello everyone,

I've tried to search for a solution, however wasn't able to find any. My issue is, that I have TextInput fileds with format as number, where users can enter the invoice amount. The problem is, that some users are not typing the number, but copying it from excel, SAP etc... and it takes also the formatting (e.g. 1000.5; 1000,5; 1,000.5; 1.000,5 etc.)

(As example, the first number I wrote in notepad and paste it to the input field, the second I wrote and system hasn't allowed me to do something strange like the first one)

Is there any way how you can actually restrict the input to still have the number format (because there are calculations based on these inputs)?

Thank you

Martin

Hi @MartinN2 , You can add this in the onChange property
If(Not( IsMatch(Self.Text,"^\d+(\.\d+)?$") ), Reset(Self);Notify("Please Add an appropriate value ",NotificationType.Information) )
This would notify the user that the entered value is incorrect
(PLEASE NOTE : The RegEx used above checks if it is a positive number, please use the regex that suits your needs)
