Lisa, I really LOVE your teaching style. You make this easier for me to understand. It feels relatable and very fun. Thank you for your vids!!!

Hi Lisa.

I've seen that Fabric can link to Dataverse without copying data.
However.
I have diffkcuilty finding If the goals can be met
-Having Lakehouse OR Datawaerhouse data from Fabric available in Dataverse?
-Having Dataverse data available in a Lakehouse OR Datawarehouse.
-Havkng Power Bi being able tl pull data from

There are probably limitatilns here and in Fabric they mention shortcut or link to Dataverse or do you have to use ADSL gen 2 to actually copy the data? Datalake and Datawarehouse probably handles this differently knowing Microsoft 😅
(Microsoft not even bekng able to do a proper GUI for file/table explorer in Fabrkc and Databricks or leaving out options in menus so you think there are limitations when in fact there aren't)

Great !!! Ms. Liza's educational video are very comprehensive. I would enjoy watching and learning more from her videos.

Great video Lisa! You've inspired me to use a model driven app solution for a project I'm working on and you're videos have been instrumental in helping me get my head around this awesome tool. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future!

Help.. we are trying to solve a mystery on tenant. We have a bunch of custom tables created on Dataverse, but our admins are saying they never created them and apparently users don't have rights to create tables. How could this have happened. I've checked power apps add data feature and don't see a way to create new tables.. and it seems only admins can create tables.

That was a great intro - good pace and level of detail. Thanks!

Lisa you just blow my mind. Amazing job very helpful. Thnaks

Lisa I hope you can help me with some information that is not clear in Microsoft about Dataverse... Does it is expensive to build a CRM in Model Driven Apps with Dataverse, because I am working with that but I'm afraid that it will get to expensive... The information in Microsoft is not very clear and would like to know how much does it cost to have more space and the space by default how much does i have.

I can’t find a tutorial for this. Do you have one? Run document through AI model and extract fields and tables and then put them into the data verse. This seems like it should be easy but I don’t know if you have to pre make your tables to exactly match your AI model, or can the AI model determine the table based on how you tagged it?

Hi Lisa, Could you please suggest how can I send data/table from power to SQL and it should be automatically going forward? thank you very much.

[AudrieGordon]

Love this Lisa! Thanks so much for this info - I'm sure loads of people will try it out!

[MindenMen]

Some of your screens seem to show Dynamics forms with a Power Apps heading, certainly when you are talking about the security roles - very confusing. I can't find this menu even when going to the Power Platform Admin area.

[MundazMawanga]

Great explanation Lisa, thank you once again! Now I know. The Universe secrets are in the Dataverse

[nasarazam]

Can you create tables etc with code ( something like t-sql)? This will allow you to integrate with Git etc.

Can I let my Copilot studio Bot add and modify data on an excel sheet exist on onedrive on daily basis

[mahboobTechJourney]

I need your help and support, and I’m asking it out loud.
Requirement is that 
I want to consume O365 license details For example- (Office 365 E1, Office 365 E3, Office 365 F3, etc ) from Live Tenant into Dataverse.
Is there any standard connector in the Power app that I can consume from O365 to Dataverse? If not,
please suggest to me what is the way to consume O365 Licence details.

[nishakaranaweera]

Hi, does D365 F&O also sync data to dataverse?

[mr.arthur]

Hello Lisa, What is better to work with, dataverse or sharepoint library, when my data are files of 100 buildings, each building contains 100 folders and 200 subfolders. Example:
Building: Empire State
Folder: contracts, lisense, architect drawing.... Etc
Sub folder: License/Fire, Licence/Health etc.

100 buildings x 100 folders x 200 subfolders with new, updated information.

So Dataverse or SP libraries
