Today I stumbled upon an older, but wonderful article about how you can use SVGs (Scalable Vector Graphics) within PowerApps, and how you can modify them dynamically for custom visualizations: Advanced PowerApps visualizations with dynamic SVG’s. This made me think about other potential use cases, and I decided to check if I can build a reusable component that displays a World Map and allows to highlight countries with different colours.

Update May 2019: A follow up post with additional information has been published. Two years ago, I wrote a blog post about how you can schedule Twitter content with Azure Functions. I used Azure Table Storage to store relevant content that I want to get published, and Azure Functions to query it periodically to check if anything needs to get posted to Twitter. Today, I thought I should finally check Details
After my Advanced Flow session at the Microsoft Ignite Hong Kong, an attendee asked me about a specific update that could be done to the demo. What she wanted to do is add some additional information to an auto-generated email, namely not just showing data grouped together, but also showing the count of the items within a group. If you’re curious about the overall demo in general, you can review Details
Update 13 May 2019: In case I find other good study guides online, I’ll link to them from here,Here’s another study guide by fellow MVP Vlad Catrinescu. While a good number of links are the same for both our guides, she also linked to a few other resources, so check it out:https://absolute-sharepoint.com/ms-300-study-guide-deploying-microsoft-365-teamwork This week I took the MS-300 Deploying Microsoft 365 Teamwork beta exam. This exam addressed the areas Configure Details
Over the past few years, I have been using the PnP PowerShell cmdlets quite regularly. They’re a constant companion in all my projects, and very often they’ve helped me to solve issues, automate tasks, and generally simplify my life. Examples include: Setting SharePoint Online Site Collection Search Settings with PowerShell Exporting SharePoint Online List/Library Detail Get Versioning Details for all Lists in a SharePoint Online Site Getting all Permissions Levels Details
On my blog post Progress Bars with SharePoint Online Column Formatting I showed how the new Column Formatting functionality can help to show progress bars inside a list: On this post, I received the following comment from Rick: Progress is usually associated with completion (blue). What would it take to have the progress % be blue, and the background color of the bar (= 100%), associated from a separate column? Your Details
Now that Column Formatting has begun rolling out to SharePoint Online tenants, I decided to look at some older use cases and test how they could be achieved with this new functionality. The first use case is a common one: an item’s progress is tracked in a list with a percentage indicator – a project’s total completion so far, an individual task’s progress, etc. This is usually stored as a Details
Together with more than a thousand other MVPs worldwide, I was eagerly awaiting July 1 – the day when Microsoft sends out the renewal emails for MVPs. And I am very honoured to announce that I have received the prestigious Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the sixth year in a row. Being part of this amazing group of people is something I am very grateful for. In Microsoft’s words, “Microsoft Details
Update: I added a small script below to create a folder structure in a tenant so that you can test the new limit Yesterday, Microsoft announced another small but great change to SharePoint Online and OneDrive: in previous versions of SharePoint you were limited to a maximum path length of 256 characters. This meant that if you had a very deep folder structure, potentially also with long file or folder names, Details
Today, we’re going to have another quick look at the wonderful world of PowerShell and how the PnP PowerShell cmdlets make our life a lot easier when administrating SharePoint Online. I had a couple of site collections that needed to have their Site Collection Search Settings updated to use a dedicated Search Center. While it would be possible to manually go into each site collection and update the settings, this Details
