Navigate to the folder containing your Excel file.
00:00:58
And selected.
00:01:01
It's important to make sure your Excel file contains data in table format,

00:01:10
To format your data as a table in Excel,

open your file.

Select the data range you want to use.

so it's easy to identify in Power apps.

The app includes default screens.

00:03:31
them easy to identify when creating the app in Power apps.

Also,
00:03:36
check access rights to ensure users have
00:03:38
the necessary permissions for the source file,
00:03:41
whether it's stored on OneDrive or SharePoint.
00:03:43
A brief training session can help your team quickly adopt the new app
