With Wednesday being a holiday (Remembrance Day in Canada), Thursday feels a bit like Monday. Which means I am still in the “holiday mode”, I don’t necessarily want to do anything at all, and, hence, some of the minor issues with Power Platform which should have been fixed long ago seem somewhat inflated on this… Read More »
You know how we can pick output fields from the Flow actions: So, why is it that, for the flow below, “Filter Array” output is not presented in the same way it’s done for the “Get Rows” action? Even though I’m really just filtering on the results of the “Get rows”, so would not it… Read More »
If you ever wanted to use Google sheets in Power Automate, there is a connector for that: However, it turned out to be a little tricky, and this is what this post is about. Imagine there is a very simple spreadsheet: What if I wanted to read a specific row from that spreadsheet in the… Read More »
There is, really, not a lot to write about it. The screenshot below says it all: There is one link missing on the right side, which is “Edit Filter Criteria”. It does show up for some other views, though: But, from what I could see, it disappears once the view(or, possibly, the filters) has been… Read More »
Earlier this month, I wrote a couple of post about reporting/document generation. While working on it, I also tried one other option which you may find useful, too. One of the biggest problems with Word Templates, be it classic word templates in model-driven apps or new populate word template action in Power Automate is that… Read More »
There are a few reasons I still have not, really, touched Power BI (beyond some very basic things just to see what it’s capable of), but, having looked at my reporting options recently, I figured Power BI paginated reports might be what’s required on the project. Luckily, it turned out we might be fine on… Read More »
For some reason, the part of Power Platform that used to be Dynamics CRM (and was, then, transformed into what’s called “first party” applications) has always been limited in its reporting and document generation capabilities. It’s still the case, it seems, and it’s a strange situation for an enterprise-grade platform. After all, what’s the point… Read More »
A few years ago, there was a common mantra on pretty much any project I was on: “Stick to the configuration. There should be no javascripts and/or plugins” This was happening since quite a few people had run into problems with those low-level customizations in the past. Which is understandable – to start with, you… Read More »
Connection references have been released (well, not quite, but they are in public preview, which is close enough), and, from the ALM support perspective, it might be one of the most anticipated features for those of us who have been struggling with all those connections in the Flows (chances are, if you are using Flows,… Read More »
How do we add file download button to the model-driven apps? To start with, why would we even want to do it? There can be some interesting scenarios there, one being to allow your users to download PowerAutomate-generated word templates (see my previous post). That, of course, requires some custom development, since you may want… Read More »
