This is another useful addition to Power Fx which will make our lives a little bit easier. Looking forward to using it soon. Thanks for sharing as always
Love this feature! I recall in a September 2022 post on the Power Apps blog entitled "Power Fx: Introducing Named Formulas", that there was talk of "named formulas with parameters" akin to Excel's LAMBDA function. I'd be grateful for any updates on that feature you may have!
Excellent. Thank you. By the way, this "(" is a parenthesis NOT a "parenthesi". A small thing perhaps, but makes you sound better. As usual, a very informative and useful video.
seems like the next level would be to have named formulas in components .. bring in component x, get a named formula with it (imagine setting a value inside the component from a named formula without creating the separate variable "glue" ... just thinking out semi loudly ;-))
Does this only have a beneficial effect for forumulas loaded OnStart? Will it improve performance of responsive Canvas apps that have to change the width/layout of elements based on App.Width?
With named formulas like this. When are they ready for use? For example, if you wanted to reference a named formula value in the App.OnStart, would it be available in time? Or is it only for anything beyond that? Same question applies for the initial screen OnVisible code
As far as I'm aware, named formulas are updated anytime they are referenced, anywhere. Another issue I see with it is although it says App.OnStart is done before setting up named formulas, I found it to work the opposite sometimes, often making the whole app unusable until refresh because it hasn't loaded the current logged in user's office 365 profile yet...

Finally we get a higher level of abstraction in Power Apps. Thanks for the video!
Yes! I've been waiting for this for awhile now 😍

Super Awesome! Thanks April!
Thank you!
Love this upcoming feature! Thanks for sharing April, excellent vid!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing!
Am definitely going to use this feature in my apps. 👍🏻

Dude no one cares
Thanks for the grammar tip 👮
Thanks April 🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome!
Would be great if we could pass a variable into these formulas. Like a proper function with parameters.
Great Info April
Thank you!!
hi April, thank you for sharing. Will it work as well for a large data ( 10 000 items)? will it solve delegation issue as well?

That's awesome! Can I use Named Formulas 'On Start' for a collection holding more than 3k static records, if yes, how can we do that? Thanx 😊
In the video April says no do not put them in the OnStart!

Wow - confusing naming. For example Volume = 5 is not a formula. It looks like setting a "Named property". 😢
