Build an app with me: Top 10 Tips on App Building

Audrie101 Profile Picture Posted by Audrie101

Getting started using PowerApps can also involve learning how to plan apps, and prepare dependencies. In this hangout, we'll build a Giving Campaign application where we'll set targets by clarity name, then we'll track the employee drive to collect contributions from celebrities. Our data source will be SharePoint, where we'll build two lists (Parent = Contribution Targets, with Child = Donations). We'll discuss and demonstrate using Lookups in SharePoint as well as how to roll-up reporting using expression based calculations as well as Power BI. In just two hours we'll have an end to end solution!

 

P.S. I forgot to show you the experimental feature for showing the column display names in formulas, rather than the internal column names. If you open any app and click the File menu, then select App Settings - you'll find this option (shown below):
