    Collections Cookbook: 50+ Visual Examples & Code

    ‎01-05-2020 08:42 PM

    CollectionsCookBook_Top.png

     

    Welcome to the PowerApps “Collections Cookbook”.

    Inside you will find over 50 examples of how to do various tasks with Collections. Each page contains code and a visual to show what the code is doing.

    COPY + PASTE code from the cookbook into your own app.  Just change the Collection name and column names to match your own.

    Add the app to a Microsoft Teams tab for instant access.  I like to keep the Collections Cookbook close by while coding PowerApps.  That way I can quickly look for code to solve the problem I am having and the solutions are all in one place. 

     

    Calls To Action

    Give a Thumbs Up if you liked the app to make it easier for others to find in the gallery

    Post a reply for any suggestions for Collections Examples you want to see added in a future version.

    Send me a message for any bugs your encountered and I will try to fix them quickly

    Follow me on Twitter for more PowerApps tips https://twitter.com/mattbdevaney

    1. Make an effort

    2. Try again

    3. Ask the community. 
    We learn by our efforts, repetitively over and over, and asking the right questions. Best of luck.

    @safaamostafa50 what is it you are trying to do?  The examples in The Collection Cookbook are excellent and a great place to start, but most of us needed to expand or combine the examples to fit our requirements.
