  Phillip’s Power Apps Odyssey

  Last updated: Friday, December 26, 2025

  Published in: CODE Focus Magazine: 2023 - Vol. 20 - Issue 1 - Power Platform

  Shane Young narrates Phillip’s odyssey to illustrate how Microsoft Power Apps can transform a simple Excel spreadsheet into a responsive, data-rich mobile app, bridging citizen development with professional engineering. Through Phillip’s trials—importing data, calibrating data types, adding a barcode scanner, querying external APIs via a custom connector, and embedding a PCF control—Young shows how end users can rapidly build usable apps while recognizing when pro developers are needed to handle JSON, APIs, and advanced components. The tale underlines Power Apps’ potential to democratize app creation and scale with expert collaboration.
