Best Practices
Here I share the best practices I use for the Power Platform tools, drawn from my own experience and plenty of learning from other people's mistakes so I don't repeat them. None of this is set in stone, so adjust it to fit how you work. Consistency matters, especially when several people share a platform. I see it constantly: SharePoint sites with mismatched naming, lists with convoluted names, and flows nobody can follow. When you agree on rules, everyone always knows what something means, and onboarding a new person becomes far easier. Even if you never adopt my conventions, at least write your own down. And even if you work alone, building your own reference makes you think, and you will often spot places where things could be better. That reflection is half the value.
Power Automate: empty function
Returns true when a string, array, or object has no value. Numbers and booleans throw an error.
Power Automate: Set variable Action
Assigns a value to an existing variable. Strict type enforcement.
Power Automate: What's a parallel branch?
How to unzip a file in Power Automate?
Power Automate: Office 365 Excel - For a selected row Trigger
Fires when a user selects an Excel row via the Power Automate add-in.
Power Automate: bool function
Converts a string, integer, or float to boolean. Zero is false, non-zero is true.
Power Apps: DateTimeValue function
Converts a string into a date-time value.
Power Automate: Initialize variable Action
Declares a variable. Required first step before any other variable action.
SharePoint: Round Function
Rounds a number to a given number of decimal places.
Power Automate: or function
Returns true when any expression is true.
Power Automate: string function
Converts booleans, integers, floats, and arrays to text. Arrays become JSON; null becomes empty.
