Power Fx in Power Platform

With Power Fx now powering Power Virtual Agents, Dataverse, and Cards, it is a great time to use your knowledge of Power Apps’ formulas to leverage more of the Power Platform. But let’s take that up a notch, from leveraging knowledge to leveraging running code. We’ll show you how to easily move custom logic to where it can be leveraged most, for example out of a single app and into Dataverse formula columns and actions where all apps and Power Automate can leverage it. Within Power Apps, we’ll show you how named formulas, user defined functions, and components enable leverage within an app and across apps, greatly improving performance and manageability. And we’ll show you how you can enable these same low code customizations in your own projects with open-source Power Fx.
