Release Notes for Bulk Data Updater

Back to Bulk Data Updater page

Version 1.2022.11.2

Released on 2022-11-11

Calculate with Microsoft Power Fx

This is a pretty cool feature…

The XRM Tokens have been there for a while, to calculate values for updating columns.

From this version, both this Bulk Data Updater and the XRM Tokens Runner can use the Microsoft Power Fx formulas, inside the XRM Tokens!

A few examples:

<PowerFx|Round({price|<value>}*(1+({pricelist.yearlyincrease}/100)); 2)>
Result: 10,35   // from price = $9,95 and increase = 4%

<PowerFx|Round( Pi() * Sqrt({rapp_diameter} / 2); 1 ))
Result: 22,2    // from diameter = 100

<PowerFx|Year("<system|now>")>
Result: 2022
