When Should You Replace Excel with a Power App?

Excel is brilliant. It becomes risky when it turns into a business system with multiple users, approvals, status tracking and important history.

Signs Excel is struggling

  • Only one person understands the spreadsheet
  • People overwrite each other’s changes
  • You need mobile-friendly forms
  • You need approval history
  • You need better permissions
  • You spend time cleaning copied data

A Power App can keep the simple feel of a form while storing data in SharePoint or Dataverse. The result is easier for staff and safer for the business.
