<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis part will describe how to establish a Dataflow in Power Apps or Dataverse from scratch. Here, we’ll use a SharePoint List to develop a Dataverse Dataflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step – 1<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nFirst, On the Power Apps screen, expand Dataverse <\/strong>-> Select Dataflows<\/strong> -> Click on the + New dataflow<\/strong> from the top of the page.<\/li>\n\n\n\nWhen we expand the + New dataflow<\/strong> button, we have two choices:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nStart from blank<\/strong> =Select this option if you want to start the Power Apps dataflow from scratch.<\/li>\n\n\n\nImport template<\/strong> = Choose this if you want to establish a dataflow using any imported template from your system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWe have selected the Start from blank<\/strong> option for this scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to create dataflow in Power Apps<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep – 2<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nWe will then be prompted to select the data source from which you want to get the data. You may access the data through several connectors, as seen in the image below. You can drag a file from your PC or choose a connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Many tabs, like All categories, File, Database, etc., make it easier to find individual connectors from a specific tab. Furthermore, we may search for any connection name using the search bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n We will choose the SharePoint Online list as shown below since we will retrieve the data from the SharePoint list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to create dataflow in Dataverse<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep – 3<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce we select the SharePoint list connector, it will direct us to the next page where we need to connect the SharePoint data source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two different connection configurations are as follows. like as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nConnection settings<\/strong>: With this configuration, there is just one field, i.e.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n\nSite URL<\/strong> = Specify the URL of the SharePoint site that contains the SharePoint list. You can type a URL like as “https:\/\/<tenant>.sharepoint.com\/sites\/PowerApps\/<\/strong>“.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n2. Connection credentials<\/strong>: There are four fields in this setting: (The choices below are available if this is your first time signing in). <\/p>\n\n\n\n\nConnection <\/strong>= Choose between a new connection and an existing connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\nConnection name<\/strong> = This will automatically fill in using the Site URL box.<\/li>\n\n\n\nData gateway<\/strong> = This is selected with none by default.<\/li>\n\n\n\nAuthentication kind<\/strong> = Choose the Organizational account<\/strong> option for the authentication type.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nYou won’t see the above alternatives if you have already logged in before. You only have access to the Edit connection<\/strong> button in place of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create dataflow in Dataverse<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nNOTES<\/strong>:<\/p>\n-> If you aren’t already logged in, click the Sign-in<\/strong> option and enter your Microsoft login information to access the SharePoint Online list. -> Make sure the Organizational accoun<\/strong>t is selected in the Anonymous<\/strong> section.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nClick the Next <\/strong>button to continue when the connection is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dataflow in Dataverse<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT<\/strong>:<\/p>\nIf you type the wrong URL, username, or password, you will get the warning “Invalid credentials<\/strong>.” If the wrong source is picked, the error could also happen.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nRefer to the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n

Power Apps Dataflow connection error<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep – 4<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou must select the data or SharePoint list that appears in the left menu on the next page. A Power Query editor will display after we choose the particular SharePoint list (Book Purchase Info<\/strong>), loading all the columns and data. Click the Transform data<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dataflow in Dataverse Power Apps<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep –<\/strong> 5<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nOn this page, you have access to all feasible modifications. The designer is similar to Power BI, as you’ll see. Let’s imagine you want to update this page such that you may delete a row or a column.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Additionally, as you can see, the bottom portion includes details about the loading time, the number of columns (39), and the quantity of data rows (7, excluding headers and column names), after which select Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Dataflow in Power Apps<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep –<\/strong> 6<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nWe will now map the tables, the columns, and the load configurations. You may either load it into an existing table or make a brand-new one. I’ve made the decision to add it to a new table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n The Table name<\/strong> and Table display name<\/strong> will automatically populate this field. Also optional is the field for the Table description<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nThe table’s primary key (or unique column in SQL) must then be determined. If you already have a column, you may utilize it or leave it as Auto-generated<\/strong>. In my case, I’ll only use the Auto-generated default option.<\/li>\n\n\n\nOn the current page, each type of Destination column<\/strong> may be seen as a Text<\/strong> type. The entire mapping screen will have the following appearance. Tap the Next<\/strong> button to continue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How to create a dataflow in Power Apps<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep –<\/strong> 7<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nOnce you click the Next button, nothing will happen to take you to the next page. Under the Column Mapping section, a warning error notice with the text “Some column names only different by letter case. Please update the column names to be unique case-insensitive names.<\/strong>“<\/li>\n\n\n\nThis warning indicates that the column name in the source is not unique irrespective of the case used. In order to move on with the procedure, we must adjust the column names to be unique.<\/li>\n\n\n\n In order to resolve this problem, we will use the bottom left Back <\/strong>button to return to the Query editor page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Some column names only different by letter case in power apps<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep –<\/strong> 8<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the Power Query editor page, you may see a column attribute with the same name i.e. ID. As seen below, one ID is lowercase, and the other is uppercase. To turn it into a unique characteristic, we must remove one ID field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nNOTE<\/strong>:<\/p>\nYou may eliminate any unnecessary fields or other properties with the same name in the query editor, not just the ID column.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Create Power Apps dataflow from SharePoint list<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nA specific Id column has now been removed from the query editor. Click Next <\/strong>after it is finished.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Create Dataverse dataflow from SharePoint list<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep –<\/strong> 10<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn the following screen, we will once more see the Map table page. Simply make a modification to the Table name<\/strong> before clicking the Next <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
