Unexpected data flows in, networks go down, storage fills up, to name just a few situations that an app may encounter in the real world. That’s not good, as the maker and the end user of the app have no idea something may have gone wrong:Įrrors happen. Today, without error handling, Power Apps won’t report anything in this scenario, instead treating the division by zero error as a blank value. This error will propagate to other cell formulas if A1 is used in a formula: For an error like division by zero, Excel is very clear that something has gone wrong with a # error message that shows right in the cell. Let’s start with what Excel does, the inspiration for Power Fx. We are also working on overview docs that will be released shortly.īut before that, let’s take a brief tour.
IfError and IsError are very similar to their Excel counterparts. The documentation for Error, IfError, IsError, IsErrorOrBlank functions and the App.OnError property covers these changes. We have no plans at this time to turn this on for existing apps, and as this is such a big change, we may never do this and make this a permanently available switch. Existing apps will continue running as they always have. I say again: we are changing the default for new apps only. Makers can still disable this feature and will be able to do so for a long time. Over the coming weeks we will slowly change the default for new apps only to on across the tenants. It will still be default to off for most tenants. All of you will soon see that the Formula-level error handling switch has moved from experimental to preview in the settings (as of version 3.22082). We are rolling this out slowly as it is such a big change. If significant changes are needed from here, we will treat them as a separate feature. Many of you already use error handling in production and this move to preview should only embolden more of you to do so. By entering preview, we are signaling that we believe we are done, that we anticipate no further significant changes from here. You can create and throw your own custom errors with the Error function.Įrror handling is a big change in behavior.You can control error reporting and logging at a central location with App.OnError.You can detect and replace errors with the IsError, IsErrorOrBlank, and IfError functions.You can write blank/null values to a database.Your apps will more reliably detect and report errors.Thank you for all of your support, feedback, and patience as we got this done. Adding error handling to an existing language turned out to be a very tall order, touching almost everything, from data types, to functions, to the runtime. As a result, you and your end users will enjoy higher reliability and more transparency about what is happening in your apps. We are thrilled to announce that the long-time experimental feature Formula-level error handling has moved forward to preview.
