Solzet String Calculator

Free

Automatically build calculated text fields from multiple sources - without a single line of code.

Solzet String Calculator is a free PCF control that builds calculated text fields in Dynamics 365 from several source fields, without JavaScript or Power Automate flows. It turns any single line of text field in a model-driven app into a configurable text calculator: you choose which fields to pull from, how they map and which separator goes between the values, and the control assembles the result on the form automatically. That removes the scripts and flows normally written to concatenate values, along with their maintenance overhead, keeps data consistent and reduces manual entry errors. Typical uses are address fields, full name fields, product codes and reference numbers. The control is free to download and needs no licence.

What does Solzet String Calculator do?

Managing fields that combine data from multiple sources is a common challenge in Dynamics 365. Traditionally, this requires JavaScript or Power Automate flows to concatenate values - adding complexity, maintenance overhead, and potential for errors. StringCalculation solves this by turning any single line of text field into a smart, configurable text calculator. You define which fields to pull from, how to map them, and which separator to use between values - and the control does the rest automatically on the form.

What problems does Solzet String Calculator solve?

Key benefits:

  • No JavaScript or custom code required
  • Fully configurable field mapping and separator via PCF parameters
  • Works on any single line of text field in model-driven apps
  • Keeps data consistent and reduces manual entry errors

How do I install and configure Solzet String Calculator?

Setup takes a few minutes in the Power Apps maker portal. No code, no developer tools.

  1. 1

    Get the solution package

    • Download the Solzet String Calculator solution package (.zip) from this page. Keep it zipped: Power Apps imports the .zip as it is.
  2. 2

    Import it into your environment

    • Sign in to make.powerapps.com and pick the target environment in the top right corner.
    • Open Solutions, select Import solution, choose Browse, pick the .zip and select Next, then Import.
    • Wait for the "imported successfully" message. Importing needs the System Administrator or System Customizer role.
  3. 3

    Add Solzet String Calculator to a form

    • Open Tables, your table, Forms, and open the main form in the form designer.
    • Select the Single line of text column that should hold the combined value on the form. If it is not on the form yet, drag it in from Table columns first.
    • In the Properties pane on the right, expand Components, select + Component and choose Solzet String Calculator. If it is not listed, select Get more components and add it from there.
    • Set the properties below, tick where it should show (Web, Phone, Tablet) and select Done.
  4. 4

    Save, publish and test

    • Select Save and publish, then open a record. If the old control still shows, refresh the page with Ctrl+F5 to clear the cached form.
    • To update later, import the newer .zip the same way. Power Apps upgrades the existing solution and keeps your form settings.

What do buyers ask about Solzet String Calculator?

What does the Solzet String Calculator do?

It turns a single line of text field into a configurable text calculator that combines values from multiple fields. You define the source fields, how they map and the separator, and the control builds the combined text on the form automatically.

Do I need JavaScript or Power Automate to combine fields?

No. Concatenating values traditionally needs JavaScript or a Power Automate flow, which adds complexity, maintenance overhead and room for errors. The String Calculator does it with no JavaScript or custom code.

Which fields can the String Calculator be used on?

It works on any single line of text field in model-driven apps. Field mapping and the separator are configured through the control's PCF parameters.

What are common uses for a calculated text field?

Address fields, full name fields, product codes and reference numbers, anywhere a text value is assembled from other fields and should stay consistent without manual typing.

Is the String Calculator free, and how do I install it?

Yes, it is free to use and no licence is required. To install it, download the solution package (.zip) from this page, import it through Solutions in the Power Apps maker portal, then add the control to the field in the form editor, then set the field mapping and separator parameters.
