This process has been so frustrating and every little thing seems to require hours upon hours of research

This process is sold as a user friendly development tool, to be able to quickly create an interface for data. In the last month I have sank what seems like 100's of hours to get one nested index with form finished. I am now moving on to the main navigation dashboard with Power BI components. From the research I have done to this point it seems like the only way to get real time tiles on a page it has to come from a Power BI Dashboard, but from what I can tell I can't get the tile to connect to the Dataverse Tables I have spent so much time on. I thought these products were supposed to be a fully integrated system. There are so many gotchas and conditions to every little thing. I accept that with anything there will be a learning curve, but this product requires so much research to make every little thing work. I guess I didn't expect it from Power BI and bringing Power BI tiles into Powerapps. I was under the impression that these products are seamless. I am just venting some frustrations on this whole process. It seems like it's 1,000 times more challenging than it should be, and could be much more intuitive. Especially if it is being sold as being something anyone could use. I am not throwing in the towel on this project yet, because I do believe that it has some real value and I want to see it come to life. I guess if I were to include a question in these ramblings it would be: How do you guys deal with these frustrations? 

 

There are hundreds of videos and posts and forums on this product, I find myself having to search through dozens and dozens just to find something that is applicable to my situation or what I am attempting. On occasion its understandable, but for every little thing is just so goddamn frustrating. Anyway, keeping at it....... Thanks for any encouragement the community has
