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.

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 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...
