Want to build the internal tools your team actually needs - without waiting on IT? This course takes you from a blank canvas to a published, responsive Power App. You'll wire up controls with Power Fx, load a team's task data into the app, display records in galleries with filters and search, and build edit forms with validation. By the final chapter you'll make your app adapt to any screen size, run App Checker, publish, and share with colleagues. No prior Power Apps experience required.

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.<br><br><h2>Build Your First Canvas App</h2>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.<br><br><h2>Connect to Real Data</h2>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.<br><br><h2>Create Multi-Screen Apps with Forms</h2>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.<br><br><h2>Publish a Responsive App</h2>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.

Learn Power Apps hands-on: build canvas apps, connect data sources, filter with Power Fx, create forms, add validation, and publish responsive apps.
