In this video, we focus on connecting our Power App to the Excel spreadsheet we created and configured in the previous classes. We begin by closing the spreadsheet to ensure smooth functioning within Power Apps.

Next, we navigate back to Power Apps and click on "Apps" to create a new app. We choose the "Canvas" option, specifically the phone format, as our app will primarily be used on smartphones. I name my app "Power Contacts," but feel free to choose your own name.

To connect to the data source, we access the "Data" pane and search for the "OneDrive" connector. If you stored your Excel file in OneDrive, select "OneDrive" or "OneDrive for Business" based on your account type. If you stored the file in SharePoint, search for the "SharePoint" connector.

If you don't have an existing connection, you can create a new one by clicking on "Add a connection." Once connected, navigate to the Excel file by browsing through the folders. Select the Excel file and choose the table named "TB Contacts" that we created earlier.

After connecting, we add a data table to visualize the data from the spreadsheet. We configure the table to display the desired fields (name, phone, department, email, and comments) and see the data populating the table within the canvas app. We can play the app and observe how it reflects any changes made to the spreadsheet.

To ensure the app is saved, we click on "Save" and then proceed to publish the app by clicking on "Publish." Now, our app is ready to be shared and used. We can access it on make.powerapps.com and play the app, seeing the data table displaying the information from the Excel file.

Stay tuned for the next class, where we start building elements in the screens of our app. If you're new to Power Apps or looking to enhance your app-building skills, this course is perfect for you!
