PowerApps programming syntex

[Jack_46]

Correctly structuring a complex PowerApps statement can be a challenge. In my research I have found white papers, best practices and piecemail responses to particular questions. For instance when to use [ ( { Sometimes the answers are a bit circular like Both the "(" and The "{" are used in the programming syntex. Yeah... I got that part.

Bottom line can someone offer a concise "cheatsheet on the PowerApps statement syntex (structure).

It would include the obvious , ; ( & to the more nuanced ' " { [

Such a cheat sheet would start with simple explanations on how they are used individually with examples to the more complex using them together in combinations (again with examples). 

If such a reference exists please let me know where. If not it would be great if someone came up with it.

Thanks, Jack

Hi @Jack_46 ,

It seems that you have some problem with the operators in the formula. Please see here:

Hi Rebetcha,

Sincere thanks for your reply. Yes I'm aware of this standard reference, but I was suggesting something more integrated / expanded and helpful. I always work my way thru these errors but sometimes involves too much trial and error.

Ya know once I had an English teacher who had this thing about structuring sentences. The object was to break sentences down by subject, predicate, object, etc and included punctuation. Going through the exercises really allowed me to write good English sentences. I was just fishing for a great cheatsheet that would similarly breakdown PowerApp statements. Honestly this isn't it...but again thanks! Jack

Hi @Jack_46 ,

I understand. I think it is a good idea you have. Maybe I will make some time to create something like that. When I do, I will keep you posted.
