That is super cool how it will import data without you even making a table in your worksheet first. This should really encourage people ready to get away from Excel as a data source. A big vote for Dataverse.

I always get irritated working with excel, but watched this whole thing only because of Shane ❤. I will use my learnings from this video with respect to other DBs

Hi Shane, thanks for the amazing videos, I have a question. We have an app with pen input control for taking signature. I look for a good device for signing like a sign pad, any recommendations!

[xichen]

is the app created a canvas app or a model driven app? Thanks.

[DanielWeikert]

Could it be that some Powerapps formula dont work or work differently when you work with dataverse instead of sharepoint? FIrst time i try dataverse and thinks don't work as before.
Do you have a video on this Shane? Thanks and br

Good thing my apps are so customized... We're being replaced!

[geemboombaa]

i appreciate the video but really dude figuring out drop down choices is AI? CoPilot for you? you know how long that has been around? seriously?

Bingo Bango... Now you owe Microsoft per user fees for publishing out a Dataverse-hosted application (once the grace period runs out).

This is a bit of a misleading video title. I came here looking for a few steps to convert an Excel file into an application, not a power app running an azure.
