Transform your SHAREPOINT Lists into DATAVERSE Tables & Copilot ready Power Apps

In this step-by-step tutorial video, I will show how you can easily transform your SharePoint Lists into Dataverse Tables and Copilot ready Canvas Power Apps in a single experience.
We will explore the advantages of leveraging Microsoft Dataverse over SharePoint for enterprise App development scenarios & talk about the differences between Dataverse and SharePoint.
The new "Create with SharePoint List" option in Power Apps combined with Copilot assistance will help to import list data into Dataverse tables and create a Power App for us. I will also demonstrate how to seamlessly import data from multiple SharePoint lists into Dataverse Tables, covering complex columns such as lookup and person fields and frame a Model-driven Power App within seconds to showcase the imported data and relationships.

Unbelievably good timing. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this in my feed. I got stuck with those pesky relationship columns but now I can move a business critical app from Sharepoint to Dataverse, as needed for scalability and security roles. Many thanks. 😊

Having imported my tables into Dataverse can I now use a Dataflow to update the Owning Business Unit on different sets of records in various tables? I need this separation for record access control.

Always on point with your tutorial videos and this is yet another one. Handling complex columns within dataflows has been a bit of a challenge so seeing how the keys are set was very refreshing. I know I will come back to this video again for future project but having seen that is done is very refreshing. Had to pause me holidays for about 30 min to watch Reza's video but it was worth it. 🤣🤣

Thank you so much, Reza! This is a superb video, meticulously laid out to explain this important process effectively, highlighting the critical points that other KZfaqrs fail to convey clearly. I especially appreciate how you pivoted between the data flow back to the table build to convey the challenging issues of keys. I do have a question: Because of my work environment, I am forced to use Dataverse in Teams. It seems that Dataverse in Teams does not routinely allow the creation of new keys in tables. Is there way to do this that I’m missing?

@RezaDorrani 2 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for the feedback. Very happy to hear the appreciation. Dataverse for Teams is very limited and something that I have not worked on for years. Not sure of what options or limitations are available there.

As always a BIG thumbs up 👍👍 You covered most column types, but what about attachments? ie If you have an app which relies on attachments, would you still use Dataverse or stick to SharePoint? If you use Dataverse, but use SharePoint as the location for the attachments, do you then hit the SharePoint limitations? 💥💥

@RezaDorrani 2 ай бұрын

Most welcome! For attachments, you can create a separate table which includes column of type File and relate it with your main table.

We have a popular SharePoint based Enterprise app and we run into the relationship and performance issues and Term Store limitations in canvas apps but the Dataverse app licensing would kill our business if we forced the adoption of dataverse at current prices.

Price is for enterprise grade scalability, performance and security and many other features. The premium license requirement for Dataverse is since day 1.

Please do a tutorial for a simple workplace visitor registration app for a company with multiple site locations. This app provides a simple method for employees to check in quickly and check out visitors/maintenance contractors at their office sites from their phones. The data is collated for the security team and added to a SharePoint list to track/log basic visitor information across all sites and create reports for this. It could be from a power page on a SharePoint portal used on a phone or from a SharePoint page. Home screen registration details, e.g., company employee list of names, site locations, visitor/contractor name, visitor/contractor company name, email, phone, reason for visit, check-in date/time, optional upload doc or photo. A free text comments field, search bar to look up, and check out date/time.

This is great, thanks again. Do we still need pro licences to use dataverse tables? I noticed if I create tables within a solution I can use them in a canvas app, with no sign of premium/pro requirements. But I haven't fully tested. Anyway, great content as always. I appreciate it!

Check the comparison deck shown in video. There is a line item on licensing. A premium license is needed. You may be using a developer type environment or may have trial license assigned.

Hi Reza - fantastic content as always! I tried creating a table with a SharePoint list, in my case only 20 rows got migrated. I tried 2 other tables (the SP lists have like 5000+ rows). Is this how the preview feature works - they have limited the data that is migrated?
