The Likert question type is a great option in Forms, which gives users a matrix of sorts, to provide a valuable answer. Check out this example I use for our user group's feedback survey: Some fun facts about the Likert scale on Wikipedia. Using Microsoft Flow, I'd like to perform some automation when this survey...

Depending on where your data lives, it may take a few seconds for that data to display in the PowerApp. There is nothing that drives users more nuts than just staring at a screen as it does nothing, wondering if it's frozen or broken. PowerApps does have that useless little loading dots thing at the... Continue Reading →
I had the wonderful opportunity to write a post for a friend of mine, Mike Dixon, over at Wellington Street Consulting. I've worked with Mike over the last 4 years as we're both organizers of the Boston Office 365 User Group, so when he asked it was an easy YES! This post covers a high... Continue Reading →

SharePoint Online and Office 365 are awesome, provide rich collaborative capabilities, but still pretty basic on the intranet front. “Today, employees face a technology experience at...

Yes, CSS for PowerApps, kinda. Actual CSS based style sheets are not possible, but the next best thing is. We can create a few objects to store our styles in, like colors, font sizes, dimensions, etc. and then reference them across the app. Not really cascading style sheets, but let's call them just style sheets....
