Power Apps logic made easy: Smarter development with Named Formulas & User Defined Functions

13:45 - 14:30 EUROPIUM Back to event schedule

Power Apps developers often struggle with duplicated logic, difficult maintenance, and performance bottlenecks. When a single formula is repeated across multiple screens, even a small update can require dozens of manual changes, increasing complexity and the risk of errors 🤯

Why does this matter? Poorly structured apps become hard to debug, slow to load, and frustrating to scale. Without a centralized way to manage business logic, apps become fragile and inefficient, leading to wasted development time and poor user experiences.

📝 This session will introduce Named Formulas (NF) and User Defined Functions (UDF) - two powerful tools that can supercharge your Power Apps by reducing redundancy, improving maintainability, and optimizing performance.

You'll learn:
- What Named Formulas and User Defined Functions are.
- How they work and when to use each.
- Real-world examples of performance improvements.
- Best practices to structure app logic efficiently.

By the end of this session, you'll have a clear strategy for managing complex logic in Power Apps, allowing you to build apps that are faster, cleaner, and easier to maintain.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Eliminate repetitive formulas across multiple screens using Named Formulas.
✅ Make your logic reusable and parameter-driven with User Defined Functions.
✅ Improve app performance and maintainability with centralized logic.
✅ Avoid common pitfalls and leverage best practices for a scalable Power Apps architecture.
