Somewhere in your organization, a spreadsheet is quietly doing a database's job.

Microsoft Power Platform: The Practical Guide to Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI & Copilot Studio is the hands-on guide for turning that gap into a real, working solution — without waiting months for a developer to have capacity.

This is not a feature tour. It's a build-along guide. You'll construct a working canvas app, automate a real approval workflow, model data and write your first DAX measures in Power BI, and build a grounded, action-taking AI agent in Copilot Studio — all connected through a properly designed Dataverse foundation, and all governed the way enterprise IT actually expects.

Whether you're a business professional tired of manual processes, an IT admin who needs to govern low-code adoption responsibly, or a developer adding low-code fluency to your toolkit, this book meets you where you are and takes you further than a scattered collection of tutorials ever could.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

Build working canvas and model-driven apps from scratch
Automate approvals, notifications, and even legacy desktop processes with Power Automate
Design a proper data model and write real DAX in Power BI
Build a grounded, trustworthy Copilot Studio agent that takes action, not just answers questions
Architect a Dataverse schema that scales instead of collapsing under its own complexity
Govern a Power Platform environment like a mature enterprise — not a shadow-IT risk

Every chapter pairs clear explanation with a real, guided build you complete yourself in a free developer environment, plus case studies drawn from healthcare, manufacturing, retail, financial services, and higher education, showing exactly how these tools solve real problems for real organizations.

No coding background required. No fluff. Just a complete, practical path from your first app to a governed, production-ready platform.

If you've ever thought "there has to be a faster way to build this," there is. Start building it today.
