In the previous chapter, we started to build on our app even further by introducing and implementing some basic formulas. On their own, formulas will allow an app to take advantage of some of its basic functionality, but the real depth of apps comes from their consumption and interaction with data.

Data can be stored in a number of different ways, both internally and externally. We will explore external data sources in Chapter 8, Introducing Connectors, when we start to become intimate with connectors. In this chapter, we will look at how we can build data structures internally within the app and explore how we can use them while we're running our PowerApps.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Creating and interacting with collections
• Displaying data as tables
• Using forms
• Lab 6
