A few months ago, I was working with a client who wanted a simple daily digest flow. Every morning, the flow had to pull all the items from a SharePoint Online list where the Due Date was today, and then email that list to the project manager. Sounds simple, right? But the moment I started building it, … Read more >>
I built a leave request app for a client last year, and the manager kept complaining about one thing: the Department dropdown showed “Sales” four times because four employees belonged to that department. That’s a classic duplicate values problem, and it’s the first thing every Power Apps builder runs into once real data gets involved. … Read more >>
A few days ago, a client asked me for something simple: let their staff log IT issues without emailing the helpdesk. No dashboards. Just a screen where someone types a title, picks a priority, and hits Save. That request is exactly what a Form control solves. It reads your data source, generates input controls for each column, … Read more >>
I often see this issue in inventory and service desk apps. A user enters a quantity such as 25 into a Text input control, but Power Apps treats that entry as text instead of a real number. That becomes a problem the moment you need to calculate totals, compare values, or save the result into … Read more >>
When I build a Canvas app for an issue tracker, leave request process, or expense claim system, I often start with simple formulas directly on controls. That works for a small app, but the same logic soon appears in Labels, Galleries, Buttons, Forms, and multiple screens. For example, you may repeat a priority-color formula in … Read more >>
When I build a Canvas app for a service desk or leave-request process, I often see the same formula copied across labels, galleries, buttons, and forms. It works at first, but one small business-rule change can turn into a frustrating search through ten different screens. That is where Power Apps user defined functions make a … Read more >>
Have you ever built a canvas app where the same calculation shows up in five different places? Then your boss asks you to change the tax rate, and you spend twenty minutes hunting down every screen where you typed that formula. You fix one label, forget another, and now your app shows two different numbers … Read more >>
Ever built a gallery in Power Apps and noticed it feels flat? Users click around, but nothing tells them an item is clickable until they actually tap it. That lack of feedback makes your app feel unfinished, even if the data behind it works perfectly. A hover effect is a small visual change — such … Read more >>
Your employees keep asking the same questions every day — “How do I submit a leave request?” “What’s the IT helpdesk number?” “Where do I find the expense form?” Your support team is buried. And you know there has to be a better way. Microsoft Copilot Studio is that better way. It’s a low-code, graphical … Read more >>
You send out a daily sales summary email from Power Automate. The numbers look good. But the date line says “2026-06-24T14:32:10Z” instead of a nice, human format like “24th Jun 2026, 02:32 PM”. Your manager skims the email, gets confused, and writes back: “What time zone is this? And why does it look so technical?” … Read more >>
