Power Platform
The Microsoft Power Platform is a family of low-code tools for building apps, automating work, and creating websites without writing everything from scratch, and this hub ties my coverage together. My biggest section by far is Power Automate, where I share hundreds of tutorials, reference pages, and answers about building cloud flows, wiring up connectors, and automating the repetitive tasks that eat your day. I also cover Power Pages, the tool for building secure, data-driven websites on top of Dataverse, so you can turn your business data into a real web experience. Across both areas my goal stays the same, to give you practical, hands-on guidance that gets you to a working result instead of leaving you lost in the documentation. Each sub-area goes deep on its own part of the platform.
Power Automate: base64ToString function
Converts a base64-encoded string back into readable text. Takes a string, not a file object; UTF-8 only.
Power Automate: SharePoint - Get file properties Action
Returns a SharePoint file's library column values. Needs the integer item ID, not the file identifier.
Power Automate: triggerOutputs function
Returns the trigger's entire output object, headers included. The body sits one level down.
Power Automate: subtractFromTime function
Subtracts an interval from a timestamp you supply. Returns a string; months clamp to month end.

How to trigger a Flow on a SharePoint change and show the before and after?
Detects which column changed on a list item and reads the old value from version history. Requires versioning.
Power Automate: Join Action
Joins an array into a single string with the delimiter you choose. An empty array returns an empty string.
Power Automate: getPastTime function
Returns the current timestamp minus a number of time units. Always counts back from now in UTC.
Power Automate: Teams - Get message details Action
Returns the full message behind a message ID: body, sender, mentions, and reactions. The body arrives as HTML.
Power Automate: chunk Function
Splits a string or array into pieces of a fixed size. The last chunk is often shorter.
base64ToBinary function
Converts a base64-encoded string into binary file content. The content type changes; the base64 does not.
