Function Day
Function Day is where I explore the basics of a function and share recommendations on how to actually use it. I focus on Power Automate, SharePoint, and Power Apps, because there is so much to dig into there, though other references show up from time to time. Do not expect an exhaustive list of every function, since Microsoft's own reference already covers that. Instead I pick the common ones and build from there, one function at a time. Articles land on a regular schedule, and with three platforms to rotate through you can count on Power Automate, SharePoint, and Power Apps entries coming around in turn. When time allows I speed things up, but a steady rhythm is what keeps Function Day delivering useful, in-depth breakdowns you can rely on.
Power Automate: float function
Converts strings and integers to floating-point numbers.
SharePoint: Trim Function
Removes leading, trailing, and extra internal spaces from text.
Power Automate: When true is not true
Power Automate: empty function
True if a collection, string, or variable has no value.
Power Automate: bool function
Converts a string, integer, or float to boolean. Zero is false, non-zero is true.
Power Apps: DateTimeValue function
Converts a string into a date-time value.
SharePoint: Round Function
Rounds a number to a given number of decimal places.
Power Automate: or function
Returns true when any expression is true.
Power Automate: string function
Converts booleans, integers, floats, and arrays to text. Arrays become JSON; null becomes empty.
Power Automate: equals function
Compares two values. Case-sensitive for strings, cross-type for ints and booleans.
Power Apps: IsToday Function
Returns true when a date-time falls on today.
