If you work frequently with Power Apps, it's a good idea to create browser bookmarks to help quickly navigate to the most commonly used areas. This describes the fomrat of the URLs that we can add as bookmarks.

A common question I often see is - how do I filter a table or SharePoint list by month and year? This post describes how to carry out this task using formula that is delegable.

When building data entry screens, it's often necessary to validate dates. Unfortunately, the date picker control contains no built-in way to specify the minimum and maximum permissible values, or other validation rules. This post describes a way to restrict the value that a user can enter through a date picker control.

Power Apps now offers the ability to read text and URL data from NFC tags. This post describes this new feature, including how to write data to an NFC tag, and how to retreive the values from a canvas app.

When we attempt to import an Excel spreadsheet from OneDrive to Dataverse, we may encounter a 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' error message. This post describes a fix for this issue.

A challenge that we may encounter is, how can we sort a table/list of records by a number that partially appears in a field? An example of where this could occur is where we want to sort manufacturing product descriptions that contain the numeric part number, and we want to sort by the numeric portion of this text. This post describes the formula we can use to carry out this task.

The iOS and Android players support both canvas and model driven apps. By default, the mobile app shows only production apps, and this post describes how to configure the mobile app to show model driven apps from all environments.

The Power Apps designer now fixes a problem that relates to the new SQL Server naming convention, and it also includes the ability to rename custom connectors and 'action connectors' from an app. This post describes these two new features.

The code completion suggestions in the formula bar can be confusing. In particular, the usage of the BeginsWith, EndsWith, and Contains keywords are not entirely clear, and some app builders struggle to understand how to carry out the required string comparisons. This post describes this behaviour, including the correct syntax to carry out these operations.

A common question from app builders is, how do we return the last record from a table? The reason for this question is because the Last function may not return the expected record. This post examines this behaviour and describes the most efficient way to return the last record from a table.

When building apps, it's useful to be able to populate tables with dummy or test records so that we can test and see how our app behaves. This post demonstrates formula to generate multiple records with random values, and how to add those records to a table.

When we attempt to Filter, Search, or to LookUp records based on criteria that references column names with spaces, Power Apps returns an error. This post describes this behaviour in more detail.

At today's community call (16 June 21), Terho Antila gave a great demonstration of his gantt chart app. If you want to add gnatt chart capabilities to a canvas app, I highly recommend that you take a look at this.
