Welcome to inaugural video shorts where all human knowledge is compressed into the bites of 60 seconds or less, to be consumed while waiting for the paint to dry. In this episode we help Lisa to enable in-app notifications in model-driven Power Apps without any code using a freshly baked XrmToolBox tool by Ivan Fricko. […]
You’ve seen us in Tip #1415 doing some Microsoft Graph abracadabra to call Excel functions directly from Power Automate. To do that we use Excel spreadsheet located on OneDrive for Business. Documentation mentions in passing that “You can use Microsoft Graph to allow web and mobile applications to read and modify Excel workbooks stored in […]
tl;dr No, Power Platform team didn’t sneak in any profanities into PowerShell module. It’s caused by the verb Apply, is by design, and can be safely ignored. Longer version I usually oblivious to any warnings produced by the command line tools. My attention is fully reserved for the word FATAL in Ferrari red (#ff2800 if […]

I usually don’t drool over code but this one is just way too elegant for me not to. StackEdit – In-browser Markdown editor is an awesome app for markdown editing. One of the standout features is ability to comment and review – something sorely missing from the standard markdown. StackEdit very cleverly serializes reviews and […]
Want to count all records in all Dataverse tables like a boss? Say no mo. Make sure TDS endpoint is enabled using Manage feature settings. Connect to your Dataverse as described in Use SQL to query data (Microsoft Dataverse) We cannot use some of the features including loops (see How Dataverse SQL Differs from Transact-SQL) […]
Ever wondered how to use Dataverse date filters like “Today” or “Tomorrow” when listing records in Power Automate? Yes, plonking in the entire FetchXML with <condition attribute=”enabler_stamp” operator=”tomorrow” /> is one way to handle that. The other is to use query function Tomorrow in the filter: Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.Tomorrow(PropertyName=’enabler_stamp’) Here’s the catch: “tomorrow” is relative. If you live anywhere west […]
You are a CEO of Rykita, a worldwide manufacturer of power tools used by millions.
