Been watching your videos for years now as I dip in and out of PA so have to remind myself of a few things. You style is so clear and upu explain things so thoroughly - just wanted to say thanks!

Great refresher... I asked my team to review. A couple of new team members so I asked them to watch.

Unrelated topic. If you have any juice with the MS PowerApps team, it would be great if when you expand the formula pane, if it didn't cover up the properties panel on the far right, and stopped at the right edge of the formula window pane itself... Make it happen Shane!
