Did you know that you can transform your Excel spreadsheets into fully functional, responsive canvas apps in just a few steps? In Power Apps, you can simply upload your spreadsheet, your data will be turned into a Dataverse table, and your app will be created.

For example, suppose you have a spreadsheet with a list of upcoming events that you want to manage.

In a moment, your app will be ready to use and share. The app is a single screen that lets you view and edit existing records, and create new ones. Before you publish the app, you can make any changes that you need.
