I have an app that currently sends all data related to meetings I attend to SharePoint. We then pull that data from SharePoint into a Power BI report.
I now have the ability to connect directly to SQL from PowerApps. Can I send my information to SQL rather than the "middle-man" of SharePoint?
Thanks.
Hi @Anonymous
You will need to have a SQL connector to a table in your SQL account that contains the same fields as your SharePoint list. Just point your app to the new connector and you should be in business.
I think I'm following. Since I'm pulling that data from SP to SQL, the names should be the same. I'm going to check this out.
Thank you

I am not conversant with sql but I suspect that you can move all your old data over from SharePoint as well.
Correct. I can see all of the data currently in SQL. However, when I point the app to SQL, despite the fields being named the same, the majority of the fields have an error. *Name isn't valid.
There can be a difference between actual SharePoint column names and display names. You may need to play around with your sql field names to make them match.
Understood. Thanks!
I'm not at a computer to test but try going into SharePoint and copying the names directly from there.
