Power Apps – Split text in two by separator

Introduction:

Here we will learn how to separate text with a separator. In this example the separator is a dash (-)

Step 1:

Insert a text input named TextInput1. Change the following properties:

Default property

""

Step 2:

Insert a label named Label1. Change the following properties:

Text property

First(Split(TextInput1.Text,"-")).Value

Step 3:

Insert a label named Label2. Change the following properties:

Text property

If(IsBlank(Find("-",TextInput1.Text)),
"",
Last(Split(TextInput1.Text,"-")).Value
)

Conclusion:

To test, type two words into TextInput1 separated by a dash. You will notice that the first and second word will populate Label1 and Label2 respectively.
