Microsoft Power Apps provides a modern approach to building low-code business applications for mobiles, tablets, browsers, and Microsoft Teams. The second edition of Learn Microsoft Power Apps will guide you in creating well designed and secure apps that transform old processes and workflows. Learn Microsoft Power Apps starts with an introduction to Power Apps to help you feel comfortable with the creation experience.

Thank you in advance.

In the last few chapters, we have really started to focus on the controls and the formulas that build the basics within our apps. As you start to build, you will find that there is a large amount of repetition, not only through the screens within an app, but also across apps. This could be because you are building pieces of functionality that you want to use again and again, or because you want to ensure that you have consistency in terms of look and feel. It could be that you want to interact with a group of controls without having to define each one individually.

It is never too...
