Acos function from Power Fx using Power Apps

Power Apps is a suite of apps, services, connectors, and data platforms that provide a rapid application development environment to build custom apps for your business needs. More Details https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/powerapps-overview.

Power Fx is the low-code language that will be used across the Microsoft Power Platform. It's a general-purpose, strong-typed, declarative, and functional programming language.

The Acos function returns the arccosine, or inverse cosine, of its argument. The arccosine is the angle whose cosine is the argument. The returned angle is given in radians in the range 0 (zero) to π. The General syntax is Acos( Number ).

Reading this article, you can learn how to perform the Acos function from Power Fx using Microsoft Power Apps. Also, you will be able to learn Button control, Label control, and text input control in the Power Apps environment.

Step 1. Open the URL https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/ in the browser for Power apps.

Create an account with your Organisation Mail ID and log in, After logging into your Power Apps account.

Next, Insert  a Label control and set the Name and Text property as LblNum and " Enter the Number."

Enter the Number

Insert a TextInput control and set the Name property as TxtNum and Format property as Number.

TextInput

Insert  a Button control and set the Name property as BtnCal and Text property as Calculate and set OnSelect action as UpdateContext({RES:(TxtNum)}); for testing the Acos function in Power Fx.

UpdateContext

Insert Label control and set the Name property as LblRes and Text property as "The arccosine  "& RES.Text &" radians is: " &Acos(RES.Text) for displaying Results.

Name property

Insert a Button control and set the Name property as BtnClr, Text property as Clear, and OnSelect  Property in Action as Reset(TxtNum); UpdateContext({LblRes:"}); for reset the Textboxes and Result.

 Button control

Finally, the form design looks like,
