Power Fx has added three great new features. String interpolation enables expressions to be embedded within strings, making it easier to combine parts of a string into a whole. The Index function does away with Last of FirstN patterns. The RandBetween function makes it easier to work with integer random numbers.

» Read more As an experimental feature, two makers can now work on the same app at the same time. This is a first step, seeking your feedback, as we continue to build co-authoring features across Power Apps.
» Read more There is a new declarative way to control the first screen shown in a Canvas app: App.StartScreen. It is our first step in providing declarative alternatives for all the things that are done in App.OnStart today. App.OnStart is the source of many app load performance issues as it’s imperative nature prevents many optimizations. Not only that, declarative alternatives are easier to use and less error prone.
» Read more Access an app’s global variables, collections, controls, and tabular data sources directly from within a canvas component, without needing to pass everything through component properties. Great for formula and UI reuse within an app.
» Read more Excel’s Int, Trunc, WeekNum, and ISOWeekNum functions are now available for use in Power Fx formulas.
» Read more The open source tool for packing and unpacking a Canvas app is now available in preview through the Power Platform Command Line interface.
» Read more Announcing Power Fx integration with Model-driven Power Apps commanding and Dataverse calculated columns and rollups. We have also partnered with Acumatica to evaluate how Power Fx can be leveraged with the low code/no code experience they offer to their customers. And finally we have an update on our planned open source architecture.
» Read more The standard Canvas formula bar is better than ever, including more natural Enter and Tab key behavior and a scrollbar. The previously experimental formula bar is being retired.
» Read more Microsoft Power Fx is the low code language for expressing logic across the Microsoft Power Platform. It is the same language that is at the heart of Microsoft Power Apps canvas apps today and is inspired by Microsoft Excel. It enables the full spectrum of development from no code to pro code with no cliffs in between, enabling diverse teams to work together and saving everyone time and money. We are very excited to bring it to more of the Power Platform and to share it with everyone as open source. Only through a strong user community can a language grow and flourish.
