Power App
Hi Experts,
I have a question not sure I am posting here correctly or not.
1.) Current Process, We have latest 3 Months of data (projects) maintaining in Excel, and we comparing always Budget Vs latest 3 months of data of all projects.
user will check against budget with latest month and enters the value in same excel sheet about variances..Variances can be in different categories..
Is it possible that we can do this in Power APP? I don't want to do this in Excel because it is too much time consuming and in App they can enter manually variances for each project..
2.) Example in Latest month, projects will be repeated twice or thrice or more, so first Initially it should be summarised values always based on Month/year, so first should I do in List to summarise and then should I need to incorporate into Power APP?
Please guide me I am so excited to do this in Power APP for users
Thank you in Advance
Hi Sudhavi_84 ,
The activities and analyses that you'll learn with Power BI generally follow a common flow. The common flow of activity looks like this:
- Bring data into Power BI Desktop, and create a report.
- Publish to the Power BI service, where you can create new visualizations or build dashboards.
- Share dashboards with others, especially people who are on the go.
- View and interact with shared dashboards and reports in Power BI Mobile apps.
So firstly based on your description, I'd suggest you download Power BI Desktop to transform data ,do some summarization ,create reports... not Power Mobile app .
Secondly, you said it should be summarised values always based on Month/year ,You could simply do this in PBI:
- Use the default summarize type:
- Use SUM() of DAX to create a measure:
Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Variances ]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Category],'Table'[Date].[Year],'Table'[Date].[MonthNo]))If you have any other issues, please share more detail information like the data sample and your expected output to help us clarify your scenario.

And also if it is best option to move to Power APP? What is the best way to approach?
First should I summarise the List from Excel and get into Power APP
Or should I summarise in Canvas App by writing Queries?
Please help
