Learn how to create and use apps in Microsoft Power Apps from our useful Power Apps tutorials.
Searching a SharePoint list in Power Apps sounds simple — until you hit a delegation warning, a Choice field that breaks your formula, or a Person column that returns absolutely nothing. I’ve built dozens of Power Apps for clients and internal teams, and these exact problems come up every single time. In this tutorial, I’ll … read more…
CountRows looks like one of the simplest functions in Power Apps — until it silently gives you the wrong number. If your SharePoint list has 1,200 records but CountRows keeps returning 500, you’ve hit the delegation limit. And if you tried the “just use a Collection” workaround — surprise, that doesn’t fix it either. In … read more…
If you’ve ever connected a Power Apps dropdown to a SharePoint list and ended up with the same value appearing 15 times, you know how frustrating that can be. Your users don’t need to see “Marketing” repeated over and over — they just want to pick it once and move on. In this tutorial, I’m … read more…
If you’ve ever built a Power Apps canvas app connected to a SharePoint list, you’ve probably run into a situation where you only need one record — the first one in a list, the most recent entry, or just the top result from a filtered query. That’s exactly where the First function in Power Apps comes in handy. In … read more…
If you’ve built even one Power Apps canvas app, you already know that adding and editing records is straightforward. But deleting them? That’s where most people get stuck, or worse, they write a formula that silently does nothing. In this tutorial, I’m going to walk you through everything you need to know about the Remove function … read more…
When I first started working with solutions in the Power Platform, I mostly ignored the Preferred Solution setting. I created apps, flows, and tables directly in the default environment and didn’t think much about where those components were stored. Later, when the project grew, and I started organizing components inside solutions, I realized something important: … read more…
If you’ve ever opened someone else’s Power Apps canvas app and had absolutely no idea what Label5, TextInput3, or Variable2 is supposed to do — you already know why naming conventions matter. And honestly, I’ve been there too. I’ve come back to my own apps after a few weeks and spent 20 minutes figuring out what I built. That’s … read more…
When I was working on an IT Help Desk solution using Power Apps and Power Automate, I needed to get ticket data using Power Automate and send it to Power Apps. Everything was working fine at first. But the problem started when I tried to get data from a multi-select Person column called Assigned To. … read more…
Recently, while working on an IT Help Desk solution in Power Apps, I tried to retrieve all the records using Power Automate to avoid delegation issues. However, we cannot retrieve all the records at once. To solve this, I implemented pagination, where records are loaded page by page. After completing the development, when I ran … read more…
If you’ve ever built a Power Apps form and needed users to pick an employee from a dropdown, you know the pain. The list just shows “John,” but there are three Johns in your SharePoint list. Users have no idea which one to pick. That’s exactly the problem this tutorial solves. I’ll walk you through … read more…
If you’ve ever built a form in Power Apps, you already know this problem. A user fills in some fields, submits the form, and then all that text just sits there. They have to manually delete everything before entering the next record. Not a great experience. Clearing text input fields sounds simple, but there’s more … read more…
One of the most common things people ask about when building Power Apps is this: “Why does my dropdown always show the first item when the app loads? How do I make it start blank?” Power Apps doesn’t give you an obvious “start blank” checkbox. But once you know the right approach, it’s pretty straightforward. In … read more…
If you’ve ever built a Power Apps canvas app and wondered how to control what shows up in a combo box based on a button click, you’re in the right place. This is one of those things that trips a lot of people up because the combo box control behaves a little differently from other … read more…
When I was working on an IT Help Desk solution, I needed to retrieve the most recent record using Power Automate and send it to Power Apps. Initially, everything was working fine. I was sorting the list by ID (Descending) to get the latest item. However, during testing, once the list exceeded 5,000 records, the … read more…
