Power Apps Tutorials Hub – Learn Power Apps Step By Step

On this page, I am bringing together all Power Apps tutorials into one place so you can learn in a structured way and still jump directly to the part you need. To keep it easy to skim, all 350+ tutorials are grouped into 9 major sections: fundamentals, gallery and data display, forms and controls, collections and data operations, formulas and functions, SharePoint and Dataverse integration, modern controls and UX patterns, security and governance, and real‑world apps and scenarios.

What is Power Apps, and why use it?

Microsoft Power Apps is a low‑code platform that lets you build business applications for web and mobile using drag‑and‑drop design and Excel‑style formulas. It connects easily to SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL, and hundreds of connectors, so you can turn manual processes into modern apps without being a full‑time developer.

Organizations use Power Apps to build forms, dashboards, approval apps, data entry apps, and custom line‑of‑business solutions that integrate with Microsoft 365 and Power Automate. Instead of long development cycles, you can design, test, and deploy apps quickly and then iterate based on real user feedback.

Who is this Power Apps tutorials hub for?

This Power Apps tutorials hub is for complete beginners, citizen developers, and professional consultants who want a practical, example‑driven way to learn Power Apps. If you are just starting, you can treat this page as a guided learning path through the most important concepts.

If you already build apps every day, you can use this hub as your reference library: when you need a specific pattern—like a repeating table, a modern control example, a date formula, or a SharePoint integration—you can jump straight to the right section and article.

How to follow this Power Apps learning path

If you are a beginner, start with Power Apps fundamentals and getting started, then move to Galleries, lists, and data display and Forms and input controls so you can build your first working app. After that, explore Collections and data operations and Formulas and functions to make your apps more powerful.

Once you are comfortable with core skills, deep dive into SharePoint and Dataverse integration and Modern controls and UX patterns, then finish with Security, governance, and publishing and Real‑world app scenarios.

If you are already experienced, use the section headings to jump straight to the pattern you need—there will be a tutorial for almost every common Power Apps problem you run into.

Start here if you’re new

If you are completely new to Power Apps, start with these tutorials first. They will give you a solid foundation in what Power Apps is, how to build your first app, how to connect to data, and how to use the most common controls and formulas.

1. Power Apps fundamentals and getting started

Start here if you want to understand what Power Apps is, how it compares to traditional development, how connectors and environments work, and how to set up your first apps. These tutorials also cover common errors, naming conventions, interview questions, and important “getting started” concepts.

2. Galleries, lists, and data display

Galleries and data tables are at the heart of most Power Apps.

Use this section to master how Power Apps shows data: galleries, data tables, grids, row numbers, sorting, filtering, grouping, conditional formatting, and displaying files or images. These patterns are essential for almost every real‑world app.

Data tables and list‑style data display

Use these tutorials when you want data‑table‑style experiences: column headers, selectable rows, groupings, and conditional formatting.

3. Forms, input controls, and user interface

This section focuses on capturing user input: forms, text inputs, dropdowns, combo boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, list boxes, sliders, date pickers, modern form control, login pages, navigation menus, and UI components. Use these tutorials to design user‑friendly, validated forms and responsive layouts.

Use this section whenever you are building data‑entry experiences: forms, text inputs, dropdowns, combo boxes, list boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders, date pickers, login screens, and navigation UI. These patterns help you design user‑friendly, validated, and responsive apps.

Forms and modern form experiences

Text input, labels, and basic controls

Buttons, navigation, and layout components

Checkboxes, radio buttons, toggles, sliders, and choice controls

Date pickers, time, and calendar inputs

Media, image, and file‑related controls

4. Collections and data operations

Collections are the in‑memory tables that power many app patterns.

Use this section whenever you need to cache data in memory, transform it, and then save it back to SharePoint, Dataverse, or other sources. These tutorials cover creating collections, adding/removing columns and rows, grouping, distinct values, saving to lists, and working with collections in galleries and forms.

Create collections from data sources

Add, update, and remove items and columns

Distinct, filtering, grouping, and sorting collections

Counting, first/last items, and basic collection operations

Displaying collections in galleries and tables

Saving collections back to SharePoint and Dataverse

5. Formulas, functions, and calculations

Power Apps formulas make your apps dynamic. This section collects all function‑focused tutorials: date and time, text, math, logical functions, JSON parsing, error handling messages, and common formula patterns you need in most apps.

Use this section whenever you need to make your app dynamic: calculations, text shaping, date logic, JSON parsing, validation, and error handling. These tutorials show you how to write and debug the formulas that power real‑world apps.

Core text and string functions

Date and time calculations

Math, numeric, and business calculations

Logical, filter, and aggregation functions

6. SharePoint, Dataverse, and external data integration

Power Apps shines when it connects to data. Use this section for all tutorials that connect to SharePoint lists and libraries, Dataverse tables, Office 365 users, and other external systems—uploading/downloading files, using lookup columns, yes/no fields, etc.

Use this section whenever your app needs to read or write data in SharePoint, Dataverse, or other external systems. These tutorials cover creating apps from data, working with lookup and person fields, uploading/downloading documents, using Office 365 Users, and integrating with Power Automate.
