Formula level- Error Management

Today we start looking at another feature from the feature list called ParseJSON. We have already seen Named Formulas, Find and Replace, and ParseJSON function in our previous blog(s).

What is Formula level-Error Management?

Allows us to create custom errors to improve app usability and gather valuable error information.

How to enable Formula level-Error Management feature?

Assuming you have already created an app and you are using the latest version of PowerApps studio. Click on settings on the top bar of the screen.

You need to select Upcoming Features and select the Preview Features option and search with “Formula” in top search bar.

How to use Formula level- Error Management?

We already had IFERROR wherein we could put the error prone code as first parameter and error message in 2nd parameter.

Now you have an additional facility to handle types of Errors using the Error function.

Earlier we were using IfError(Text(1/0),"Divide by zero") to handle errors this was generic but now we can do as below.

IfError(Text(100/Value(TextInput1.Text)),Error({Kind:ErrorKind.Div0,Message:"Divide by 0 error"}))

You do have multiple options for Error Kind and you can also access FirstError and AllErrors to handle.

FirstError gives you the error stack for first error found. It can be used as below.

IfError(Text(100/Value(TextInput1.Text)),Error({Kind:ErrorKind.Div0,Message:FirstError.Message & "Divide by 0 error"}))

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

So what can be done next? After some amount of googling I came to know that we can create BDC solution using WCF services also. So I created a WCF service solution that acted as a wrapper that used to fetch data from the portal. We can them publish that service to IIS or Server and use the servic...

Some time back i tried to implement Angularjs with SharePoint. To be frank Angularjs is just awesome. You can have flawless feel while working with it. I don't know how will i manage to work with Angularjs in huge projects but i found it really really good to work with single page applications. Let's have a look to the classic definition of Angularjs that you find when you google for Angularjs. Angularjs "AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly and succinctly.
