So, before that let me explain “With” Function

The "With" function in Power Apps is used to temporarily change the context within a formula. It allows you to work with a specific context, making it easier to reference properties, controls, and variables within that context. The basic syntax of the "With" function is as follows:

Syntax: With (
Context,
Expression
)

  1. Context: This is the context or item you want to work with. It could be a record, a variable, or any other context in which you want to perform operations.
  2. Expression: This is the formula or set of operations you want to perform within the specified context.
