Power App with Sharepoint + Azure SQL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I've been asked by a customer to look into a powerapp that mixes sharepoint and azure sql, wich i've been hitting my head trying to figure it out if it's possible.

 

So what my client needs is a custom form that the salesmen can fill on premises with the clients, using their mobile devices. That data will be later used to generate reports using powerbi.

 

The powerapp should import data from sharepoint wich they are already using has a CMS for their product lines.

 

That data should be used create a form, with a couple of dropdownlists and multiple choices, wich then needs to be saved not on sharepoint, but into an Azure SQL database, for later reports.

 

Is this something that can be accomplished using powerapps, is there a better solution, any pointers you can throw at me?

    Hi @Luismvm,

     

    Yes, this could be done under PowerApps.

    For SharePoint List connection, check the article below for the known issues:

    Connect from Microsoft PowerApps to SharePoint

    For SQL Server, check:

    Connect from Microsoft PowerApps to SQL Server

     

    If this is the first time that you work with PowerApps, the nyou may start from the guide below:

    Generate an app(SharePoint List)

     

    For form controls, check:

    Understand data forms in Microsoft PowerApps

    Edit form and Display form controls in PowerApps

     

    Regards,

    Michael

    Hi @Luismvm

    I fully concur with @v-micsh-msft

    However you should also be aware of current bugs/limitations in the Azure SQL connection from PowerApps:

    1) After a field contains a value, you cannot set the value back to null from PowerApps

    2) There are intermittent issues writing numbers with more than 7 significant figures to the database

    3) Date type columns cannot be filtered using > or < operators

    4) Writing to date type columns is problematic

    Happy to provide more details to any of the above.
