Free sampleDescribe Microsoft Power Appseasy

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 connectors 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.
