Summary

In this chapter, we covered different sources that can be used as data for your Power Apps. First, we covered how Excel can be used as a data source and provided different ways to connect. Then, we showed a similar approach using SharePoint Lists. In both situations, we highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of each. After, we explored using Dataverse. This provided you with a broad overview of the various connectors that are available when you’re creating your app. Lastly, we introduced the concept of using dataflows.
