How to Build a Quiz App in Power Apps Canvas App

In this video you will learn how to build a quiz app in Power Apps Canvas Apps with dynamic questions and answers. After the initial demo of the application, you will learn step by step how to configure your data source, work with collections and add and show columns of data you require. Calculate the users score for their quiz submission and show and hide buttons and popups using local variables. Finally we will learn how to patch the score back to our SharePoint list. This is a great new user guide on how to build a sample quiz application.

Thanks a lot for the informative video !

[@abhi1779]

Awesome

[@allrise4]

This was fantastic. Thank you so much.

As always a great demo 💡🔥 Keep them coming 🚀

[@DamoBird365]

Thanks Kristof, I could probably do with your responsive skills but I guess that’s for another video.

@@DamoBird365 I built a responsive quiz app 5 months ago I can upload it to github to turn static collections into a dynamic feed from Sharepoint lists or create a quiz questions generator copilot. To demo its building process would take a longer video for sure 👍

[@MrNkc10]

Thanks for this! Really good content and I answer yes to subscribe in your final question! It's timely as I wanted to build a quiz app. If you had time to show 1) how to have different quizzes available for selection and 2) capture the user in the list once rather than each time they do the quiz 3) retake button so to update their list item score

[@DamoBird365]

Thanks for those ideas 💡 I will see what else I get and maybe make a follow up video in weeks to come.

Nicer to trainning of employees in some specific subjects! Very good explanation.
We could improve and extend to issue certificates (e.g. PDF) and also a new administrative screen to leaders create their own questions.

[@yosefplotkin2750]

Damo you're awesome! Thank you!
I believe this app should not require app licenses from your users since it only uses sharepoint lists and standard connectors. Am I wrong?
And hell yeah, we all want to make these quizzes dynamic based on gpt and automated processes. Im imagining a flow that kicks off when a knowledge base is updated requiring a list of people (dynamically, by department) to take a dynamic quiz, and sending them reminders until they do.

[@DamoBird365]

Standard licenses in this demo yes. Using GPT would make it or the flow to generate them premium.

[@alexiamei7353]

This was brilliant and I followed you every step and managed to set up my own quiz and was able to set up all the features you show. The only thing that did not work for me was the Patch to the original Responses List and also adding a new question in the list and then seeing it come through to the App. I did try the refresh of the source. Any ideas why that may be?

[@DamoBird365]

I’m not sure if I’m honest. You could ask on the forum.

[@saikiran7970]

Awesome, but can you help how to store the selected answers into the list for the all the 10 questions

[@DamoBird365]

I like your suggestion, I will bear it in mind.

[@justcalm187]

Would it be possible to have 100 questions then shuffle and select a random 25. Then keep track of historical pass % on each question?

[@DamoBird365]

Yes, absolutely 👍

[@hokemspitter]

Running through this I am getting stuck on the ClearCollect in the visible for the screen. This is what I am entering and the AddColumns function is not happy:
ClearCollect(
colQuestions,
AddColumns(
Questions,
Question,
Title,
Answers,
Shuffle(
Table(
{Answer:AnswerA},
{Answer:AnswerB},
{Answer:AnswerC},
{Answer:AnswerD}
)
)
)
)
The error messaging is a bit too vague IMHO.
Thanks.

[@DamoBird365]

I can’t see anything wrong. Are your columns definitely the same name? Did you create the list manually? Try add columns with just question,title then if the works answers,shuffle etc. Let me know how you get on.

[@hokemspitter]

@@DamoBird365 So, everything is okay, but the column names I want to use (kind of like an SQL alias for a column) needs to be quoted for me. Not sure why you don't need them. But, here is the working version:
ClearCollect(
colQuestions,
ShowColumns(
AddColumns(
Questions,
"Question",
Title,
"Answers",
Shuffle(
Table(
{Answer: AnswerA},
{Answer: AnswerB},
{Answer: AnswerC},
{Answer: AnswerD}
)
)
), "Question", "Answers")
)
