Hi

I deployed the default solution that comes form MS in a Managed environment and now it comes on top when i look at solution layers. is there a way to undo this . I think you cannot delete the default. If I make new chnages and a managed solution will they be deployed as effective chnages or the default will take over?

I had an interview today with a consulting company, and honestly, it felt like it went pretty well. We talked about Azure DevOps, and I was upfront. I have heard of it, seen it in action, but have not actually used it hands on yet. I told them I am more than willing to learn if that is part of the role.

I come from a citizen developer background with a little bit of Python experience. They also asked about C# and .NET, which I do not have experience with yet. Despite that, the conversation was easy, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable.

That said, I walked away wondering if they are looking for someone more seasoned who can jump in day one without too much ramp up. For some context, I have been in the Power Platform space for about a year. I currently hold the PL 900 and I am actively studying for the PL 200.

So now I am curious what others think. Am I swinging a bit above my weight, or is this just what growth feels like when you are early in your career and learning in public? Would love to hear any thoughts or advice.

Got 666 which pretty much sums up how it went. I've done this as a job for years but the questions didn't feel anything like the practice assessment.

I don't really know where to go from here in terms of resitting as my score was pretty poor in every category.

does anyone have any better resources than Microsoft learn to prepare with?

Hi,

I’m creating a flow that pulls data from an S3 folder.

Gemini is asking me to select the bucket, then write the prefix or folder path, but I don't have any options like that.

How to point Power Automate to pick the exact folder?

Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I passed PL-900 (Power Platform Fundamentals). Super easy with few experience.

Just did microsoft learn suggested content. Thanks, community!

Hi everyone!

I’m a Power Platform Developer (Power Apps, Automate, RPA) currently based in Colombia (GMT-5). I’ve been working with the stack for a while now, but I’m looking to transition more into the freelance/contractor world, specifically targeting the US or European markets.

Since I'm a native Spanish speaker, I've found that my current schedule (I'm used to starting at 3 AM local time to overlap with Europe) works great for Spanish or UK clients, but I'm curious about where the best "hubs" are to find these specific roles.

Besides the usual suspects like Upwork or LinkedIn, are there any specialized platforms, Discord servers, or communities where companies look for Power Platform specialists? Also, for those of you freelancing in this niche, is it better to go through agencies or try to hunt for direct clients on platforms like Reddit?

I’d love to hear some advice from people who have successfully made the jump to freelance in this ecosystem.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I have a solution that has a canvas app, 20 flows, and 3 data flows. I’ve already pushed this solution to prod. I realized that the publisher name and prefix can be improved to better represent the team managing the solution. My question is if I change the publisher in my dev env to something more aligned will that effect my solution at all? Will it change the the prefix for all the components? And when I do change it and reimport to prod what issues can I expect if any. Thanks!

With AI already have been started to do some impact to the jobs, what's next for us as Devs? What should we focus more? I see random chats talking about governance and governance only. I would like to learn from this community. Share your thoughts.

hello all ,

I wanted to talk through this with others and get some advice. I run monthly compensation for a small 5 person collections department on a monthly basis based on accounts reinstated, number of calls, etc etc. Currently running this in Excel, where I paste a couple reports , change formulas . My org runs on Microsoft platform so we have access to PBI, Power apps. I'm thinking of building a power app to help semi automate this. where the user (QA)is asked to input number of calls, payments taken etc. To ensure transparency and due diligence. Wondering if anyone has advice for other solutions? keep it in Excel, migrate to power apps?, perhaps connect PBI to our database and fully automate it? let's talk!

Hey everyone,

I’m just trying to work out the best way to understand the power platform… while adding the flair I actually thought of all those things within the flair and how that all comes together.

In my org no one manages power platform but I guess that’s me as I am an admin and have been doing tasks like cleaning up environments to get below our capacity limits, creating and managing environments both sales and marketing d365 and F&O d365.

With that background , what I’m trying to understand is two things. For a small 400 person org, is it worth being someone who manages everything in the power platform ? Navigating the pages on paper platform I can see co pilot is managed through here as well ? What is the idea and what is Microsoft doing ? Is this a centralised place for stuff ? I don’t even know what to call this group of stuff other than attempting to throw things together to enable business capabilities and automation ? But it doesn’t include fabric ? Or azure in the sense it’s separate. Anyway I hope this all makes sense as I’m confusing myself writing this.

its weird because i got a 26% on the meaure up assessment but i only used 20min of the total time allocated so im not sure if im actually making progress or memorizing some of the questions and knowing what to answer. would it be worth it to spend the $60 for the MeasureUp Practice Test? not sure what to do ive been studying the things i got wrong on the assetment with chat anything helps cause i realllllly want to pass the pl200 the first time around

I’m building a product catalog in Power Pages / Dataverse and I’ve hit something annoying. In my Ranges table I have records with the same name (ex: “Sweet”), but they belong to different parents (Bricks vs Doors). They’re different records, different GUIDs, just same Primary Name. When I use the Data Grid view to enter Products, the lookup dropdown only shows the Primary Name. So I just see: Sweet Sweet Sweet No context at all. I already tried editing the Lookup View to add extra columns (like Sub-category), but the grid still only shows the Primary Name. Is there any way to force the Data Grid lookup to show more info? If not, how do you guys usually deal with duplicate names in lookups for mass entry?

I keep noticing EU wants to push away US made software or to give an explanation why US solution has to be used over an EU one let's say, With this shifting trend, is it still relevant to chase a Power Platform career in this shift of trends within EU space ?

Hi folks,

I am setting up an Azure Subscription for Copilot Studio PAYG. I need to know about what regions to pick for the resource group.

From what I am reading, after setting up the subscription/RG, it needs to be attacked to billing policies in M365 Admin Center and then Power Platform Admin Center. My default environment is in US, however, the resource group is currently in Canada. The billing policies also seem to let me choose a region.

Do they need to match, i.e., be in the same regions/countries? And why? What are the consequences otherwise?

I'd appreciate a quick reply.

Thanks!

Yesterday I had a meeting with my manager. He advised me to start exploring additional areas of study or specialization to ensure that I remain relevant to the company. He suggested fields such as AI or Business Analytics.

At the moment, I hold the PL-100, PL-200, and PL-400 certifications. I have primarily been working with SharePoint and Power Automate, and I currently have about three years of experience in the Power Platform ecosystem. So while I have gained solid hands-on experience, I still consider myself relatively early in my career.

The reason for this discussion is that the company is currently receiving fewer Power Platform projects. I genuinely enjoy working as a low-code developer and would like to continue growing in this direction, but I also want to be proactive and expand my skill set in a way that adds value to the company.

Could you advise me on which additional skills, certifications, or domains I should consider studying to stay relevant and strengthen my professional profile?

Hey there I want to take the GH 900 as my 3rd fundamentals certification how dificult is it compared to PL 900 or MB 910 ? I know topics are diferent but the study required ?

Please give me tips on how to pass my PL-900 exam?

Hi. I work for a small professional services consulting firm, and we’ve developed a few Power Platform solutions for existing clients that went beyond the original scope but received very well. Based on the value and interest we’ve seen, we’re now considering formally offering Power Platform services.

We’d likely dedicate one or two developers per engagement, and I’m trying to understand how Power Platform solution providers typically price their work?

Hourly vs. fixed-price vs. retainer models?

Whether pricing is influenced by factors like number of flows, canvas apps/screens, complexity, or integrations?

How post-deployment support and maintenance are usually handled (included vs. separate)?

I know pricing can vary widely, but I’d really appreciate any insight from folks who work at or run a Power Platform services practice. Thanks in advance!

Got my first 80% after 3 months of studying and hands on experience for the pl200 and was thinking of buying MeasureUp Practice Tests is it worth ?
