Great job, Rafsan! I was wondering if you could assist me in creating a project tracker app? A step-by-step demonstration would be incredibly helpful. In my organization, we rely heavily on Excel for project tracking, and I’m curious to explore if we could transition to using Power Apps for this purpose. Also, could you clarify if Power Apps is a free service?

[@RafsanHuseynov]

Thank you @roma9026! I’m currently working on a series of videos that will guide you step-by-step on how to build a project management app on Power Apps. I’ll be sharing these videos biweekly, so stay tuned!
Regarding your question about Power Apps being a free service, it’s included in the Microsoft 365 E5 subscription (enterprise). Please note that while Power Apps is part of this subscription, using premium features such as Dataverse may require additional licensing.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
