A maker wants to build an app whose screens pull records from a SharePoint list, an Excel workbook held in OneDrive, and a Salesforce account, combining all three on one screen. Which Power Apps app type supports binding to that range of data sources?
- AA canvas app, which connects to many data sources through connectorscheck_circle Correct
- BA model-driven app, which reads its records from Dataverse tables only
- CA model-driven app, which pulls external sources in through connectors too
- DA canvas app, which binds to only one Dataverse table at a time
Canvas apps use connectors to bind to many different data sources, well beyond Dataverse alone. Canvas apps start with the user experience and connect to a wide variety of data sources through connectors, so SharePoint, Excel, and Salesforce records can all be surfaced on the same screen.
Why A is correct: Correct. Canvas apps start with the user experience and connect to a wide variety of data sources through connectors, so SharePoint, Excel, and Salesforce records can all be surfaced on the same screen.
Why B is wrong: Model-driven apps are a real app type, but their data platform is Dataverse only, so they cannot bind directly to SharePoint, Excel, and Salesforce as the scenario requires.
Why C is wrong: Model-driven apps use Dataverse as their only data platform; they do not pull external sources in through connectors on their screens, so this misstates how model-driven apps get data.
Why D is wrong: Canvas apps are not limited to a single Dataverse table; they connect to many sources through connectors, so this understates canvas data binding.

An organisation is deciding which Power Apps app type to start with for a new application. They are told the chosen type cannot be created at all unless a particular data platform is already in place. Which app type carries that requirement?
- AA canvas app, because its screens always read and write through Power Fx expressions
- BA model-driven app, because it is built on a data model housed within Dataversecheck_circle Correct
- CA canvas app, because its galleries must be bound to imported Excel tables
- DA model-driven app, because its forms render only inside the Teams client
A model-driven app cannot be created without an underlying Dataverse data model. Model-driven apps are built up from the shape of core business data in Dataverse, and the grounding states you cannot create one without a data model housed within Dataverse.
Why A is wrong: Canvas apps do use Power Fx, but they can be built against many sources and do not require Dataverse, so they have no such hard prerequisite.
Why B is correct: Correct. Model-driven apps are built up from the shape of core business data in Dataverse, and the grounding states you cannot create one without a data model housed within Dataverse.
Why C is wrong: Excel is only one of many sources a canvas app may use, and galleries can bind to any connected source, so no single platform is mandatory.
Why D is wrong: Model-driven apps run in a browser and on mobile, not solely in Teams, so this misstates where the app runs rather than its real data prerequisite.
lock_openFree sampleDescribe the Business Value of Microsoft Power Platformeasy
A logistics company manually re-keys delivery confirmations between two systems every day, and staff often forget to send the customer notification. Which Power Platform service is designed to optimise this business process by running an automated workflow between the apps and services involved?
- APower Automate, which creates automated workflows between apps and services to synchronise files, collect data, and send notifications.check_circle Correct
- BPower Apps, which builds custom business applications that let users enter and view organisational data through a tailored interface.
- CPower Pages, which creates and hosts secure external-facing websites that customers and partners use across browsers and devices.
- DDataverse, which securely stores and manages the data used by business applications across the Power Platform.
Power Automate is the service for automating repetitive processes and workflows that move data and send notifications between apps and services. Power Automate optimises business processes and automates repetitive tasks by creating automated workflows between apps and services to synchronise files, get notifications, and collect data, which is exactly the re-keying and notification work described.
Why A is correct: Correct. Power Automate optimises business processes and automates repetitive tasks by creating automated workflows between apps and services to synchronise files, get notifications, and collect data, which is exactly the re-keying and notification work described.
Why B is wrong: Tempting because an app could capture the confirmations, but the grounding scopes Power Apps to building applications, not to running automated workflows between systems on a schedule.
Why C is wrong: Power Pages is for external-facing business websites per the grounding, not for automating an internal re-keying and notification process between back-office systems.
Why D is wrong: Dataverse is the data store per the grounding; it holds the data but does not itself run the workflow that moves and notifies between the two systems.
