Introduction to Power Apps

Every team has a process stuck in spreadsheets or email threads that deserves a proper app. Microsoft Power Apps lets you build one without writing traditional code - and this course shows you how, step by step.

Build Your First Canvas App

Start in Power Apps Studio by creating a blank canvas app, adding controls like labels, buttons, and text inputs, and wiring them together with Power Fx formulas. You'll learn how Set() stores values, how If() drives conditional logic, and how theming gives your app a polished look from day one.

Connect to Real Data

Move beyond static screens by connecting to Excel and SharePoint data sources through connectors. Display records in flexible-height galleries, apply conditional formatting, and let users narrow results with Filter(), StartsWith(), and dropdown controls.

Create Multi-Screen Apps with Forms

Wire navigation between screens using Navigate() and Back(), then build Edit Forms that create and update records. Add client-side validation with IsBlank() and DisplayMode, handle success and failure events, and run App Checker to catch formula and accessibility issues before shipping.

Publish a Responsive App

Wrap your layout in containers so the app adapts to phones, tablets, and laptops. Preview your work, publish the live version, manage versions, and share with colleagues as Co-owners or Users. You'll finish ready to explore Dataverse, Power Automate, and model-driven apps on your own.
