It then covers how to connect Power Apps to SharePoint, create an approval process in Power Automate, visualize surveys in Power BI, and create your own survey solution with the combination of a number of Microsoft 365 tools. You''ll work with an extended example that shows how to use Power Apps and SharePoint together to create your own help ticketing system.

This book offers a deep dive into Power BI, including working with JSON, XML, and Yes/No data, as well as visualizing learning data and using it to detect inconsistencies between Excel files. You''ll also see how to connect to Remedy and to the help system you will have created. Under author Jeffrey Rhodes''s guidance, you''ll delve into the Power Apps collection to learn how to avoid dreaded "delegation" issues with larger data sets. Back on applications, you will create a training class sign-up solution to only allow users to choose classes with available seats. Digging deeper into Teams, you''ll learn how to send chats, posts, and "adaptive cards" from Power Automate. Rounding things out, you''ll save Forms attachments to SharePoint with Power Automate, create your own "Employee Recognition" app with all of the Power Platform and Teams, add or edit weekly status reports, and learn how to create reservation and scoring applications.
