with minimal design control but automatic UI.

 Portal Apps: Public-facing websites accessible by external users.

Q2: Difference between Canvas App and Model-Driven App?


A:

 Canvas App: Design-first approach, flexible layouts, can connect to


multiple data sources.

 Model-Driven App: Data-first approach, based on Dataverse, auto-


generated forms and views.

Q3: Use case of Portal App?


A:
For creating external websites where users outside the organization (like
customers or partners) can log in and interact with data securely.

Q4: What are some standard connectors?


A:
SharePoint, SQL Server, Dataverse, Outlook, OneDrive, Excel Online,
Teams, and custom connectors.

✅ 2. Formulas and Expressions

Q5: How does If and Switch work?


A:

 If: Used for conditional logic (like If(condition, true, false)).

 Switch: Simplifies multiple conditions based on one variable's


value.
Q6: Filter gallery by today's date?
A:

Filter(Orders, Date = Today())

Q7: Difference between Patch, SubmitForm, and UpdateIf?


A:

 Patch: Used to create or update records manually.

 SubmitForm: Submits the form with validation.

 UpdateIf: Updates records that meet a condition.

Q8: What does Concurrent() do?


A:
It runs multiple functions at the same time, improving performance by
parallel execution.

✅ 3. UI and Controls

Q9: Show/hide control based on condition?


A:
Set the Visible property of the control like:

If(Dropdown1.Selected.Value = "Yes", true, false)

Q10: How to use a Gallery?


A:
A Gallery displays lists of data. You bind it to a data source and use labels,
buttons, etc., inside to show fields.

Q11: Handle dependent dropdowns?


A:
Use Filter() on the second dropdown based on the selected value of the
first dropdown.

Q12: Screen navigation?


A:
Use Navigate() function like:
Navigate(Screen2, ScreenTransition.Fade)

✅ 4. Data Sources & Integration

Q13: Data sources you've used?


A:
SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL, Excel, OneDrive, APIs via custom connectors.

Q14: How to handle delegation issues?


A:
By using delegable functions and limiting the dataset, or applying filters
directly in the data source query.

Q15: What is delegation?


A:
It's when Power Apps pushes data processing to the data source instead of
pulling all data into the app, to handle large datasets efficiently.

Q16: Example of Power Automate with Power Apps?


A:
Triggering a Flow to send an email or update records when a button is
clicked in Power Apps.

✅ 5. Collections and Variables

Q17: Difference between Set(), UpdateContext(), and Collect()?


A:

 Set(): Global variable.

 UpdateContext(): Local screen variable.

 Collect(): Creates or adds records to a collection (temporary table).

Q18: Using collections?


A:
To store temporary data offline, like caching lookup data to avoid repeated
calls.
Q19: Remove duplicates from collection?
A:
Using GroupBy() or Distinct() functions.

✅ 6. Error Handling

Q20: Managing errors?


A:
Using IfError() function to handle potential errors and show appropriate
messages.

✅ 7. Performance Optimization

Q21: How to optimize performance?


A:

 Use delegation-friendly functions.

 Limit data calls.

 Cache static data.

 Reduce controls on screens.

 Optimize images.

✅ 8. Security and Sharing

Q22: How to share a Power App?


A:
Via the Share button in Power Apps Studio and entering user emails with
