Session Abstract

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. Join this session to level up your Power Apps skills and transform the way you handle logic! 🚀
