If you want to become a Power Apps developer, check out all our Power Apps tutorials on this website, EnjoySharePoint.com. I (Microsoft MVP) wrote them step by step with proper screenshots for your reference. Let us know if you still have any doubts.
A sign-up app I built for a company event kept collecting the same email address two or three times, because people tapped Submit more than once. The fix was a single check before adding the address: does the collection already contain it? Power Apps has no Contains() function, which is what most people search for, … Read more >>>
The first time I built a leave request app for a small HR team, I let people type the leave type and department into ordinary text boxes. Within a week, the SharePoint list had “Sick”, “Sick leave”, “sick lv” and “HR”, “Hr” and “Human Resources”, and none of the reports added up. The fix was … Read more >>>
A facilities team I worked with built a Power Apps request form, and the first thing people complained about was typing their own name, email, department and office location every single time. Microsoft 365 already knows all of that. Five minutes with the Office 365 Users connector filled those fields in automatically, and the complaints … Read more >>>
I was building an issue tracker for an appliance repair team when Power Apps put a red line under a formula that looked perfectly reasonable, with the message “Expected Record value.” I wanted the Assigned To box to show the technician from the selected ticket. I gave it the technician’s name, and Power Apps said … Read more >>>
When I built a help desk app for one of our clients, the first round of test tickets arrived half empty. People were pressing Submit before they’d typed a title or described the problem, and the support team had to chase them for the details. The fix took one formula: the Submit button stays greyed … Read more >>>
Labels are the most common control in almost every Power Apps screen I build. Screen titles, field captions, totals, status messages, a clickable “Need help?” link: they’re all labels. They’re simple, but a few details, like line breaks and making a label clickable, trip people up. In this tutorial, I’ll cover the Label control’s key … Read more >>>
Almost every Power Apps app I build has the same pattern: a gallery of items on the left, and the details of whichever item you tap on the right or on the next screen. A project tracker, a product catalog, a list of help desk tickets. It all comes down to one property, Selected, and … Read more >>>
I was building a patient intake app for a clinic when I hit a problem most people run into the first time they use Dataverse choices. The Patient Registrations table had a Reason column where staff could pick several reasons for a visit, such as Fever and Cold. In the gallery, I added a label, … Read more >>>
An IT help desk team I built an app for had three screens: a welcome page, a list of issues, and a form for adding or editing one. Early testers got lost, because every button jumped instantly and they couldn’t tell whether they had moved forward or back. A few Navigate formulas with the right … Read more >>>
An HR coordinator at a 200-person company I worked with filtered the employee directory by department every day. One afternoon they cleared the filter, saw an empty screen, and assumed the app had lost its data. It hadn’t: the dropdown was blank, and the gallery was filtering on that blank value. The fix was a … Read more >>>
