    PowerApps supports several types of variables:

    1. Global Variables: Accessible across the entire app, holding various data types like text, numbers, and tables. Created using the Set() function.
    2. Context Variables: Limited to a specific screen, used for passing values. Created using the UpdateContext() function.
    3. Collections: Tables that can be modified and saved locally. Created using Collect() or ClearCollect() functions.
    4. Named Formulas: Not a traditional variable but a way to reuse formulas.
    5. Temporary Variables: Used within specific functions like With().
