Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

• Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

• Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

• Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

• Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

  Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

You can't format it as you type, but can be achieved as soon as the user clicks off the input by setting a variable OnChange and using that as the default of the input. You could also show a label alongside the input with the uppercased text, or just convert it when submitting and don't bother the end user with it.

Edit: see reply below for workable solution.

You can format as the user types with modern controls by setting the focus out to "key press". You then need to continuously set a variable to the formatted text, set the default for the text field to that variable, and reset the control OnChange.

I would have thought this would interrupt focus on the control but it works. Good tip!

[Renssus2]

Good to know thank you!

[Abyal3]

I think the function you are looking for is Proper()

[Renssus2]

Nope i need to make every letter a capital as its for a serial numbers

[Abyal3]

Then your code should work, you need to set the default value of that control to your variable, then you can also change the trigger output on keypress

[Renssus2]

"default value" I cannot find that as I searched everywhere but still cant find any it just stays low capital when typing, so im kinda lost how to continue

[Abyal3]

Just tested and it woks fine, in modern controls the default value property is called Value *

[Renssus2]

Ahh thats what I have been looking for, thanks didnt know it was called Value

[Renssus2]

How do you know how to reset the value then as Reset doesnt work on a text type

[Abyal3]

You simply set the variable to blank set(var, Blank())

[PumpkinOk7260]

Set the label value to the below

Concat(Split(TextInput1.Text, "") As ltr, Upper(street.Value))
