One of the Microsoft Dataverse features that doesn’t get a lot of attention is currency fields. Too lazy to read? Check out the video version: I have blogged about currency codes in Dataverse (then known as CDS) in the past (in 2020) and for the most part, the underlying technology hasn’t changed.

Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge
Earlier this month I was a judge at the Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge, also referred to as ACDC. When I was originally asked if I wanted to go to ACDC, of course I said yes, AC/DC is one of my favourite bands. However, instead of a Highway to Hell, I took a flight to Oslo… Continue reading Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge
Microsoft Dataverse information in Power Pages – offline!
Before I dive into the details of this blog, you will notice that in 2022, I only published twice. My day job involves creating content for Microsoft Learn, but I also have a backlog of blog ideas that really don’t fit into Microsoft Learn, so hoping that in 2023 I hope to have a good… Continue reading Microsoft Dataverse information in Power Pages – offline!
Power Automate “Fix the Trigger” Issue (and how to fix)

If something… Continue reading Hello Tables, Columns and Choices. Goodbye Entities, Fields and Options. Getting ready for new names in the Power Platform
How to setup a Common Data Service Application User (and why)
When you build custom solutions where you need to create, read, update or delete data in the Common Data Service (including Dynamics 365 apps), you don’t necessarily want that application to use specific user credentials to do its work. This used to be a common way for external applications and integrations to authenticate to the… Continue reading How to setup a Common Data Service Application User (and why)
Get Geo Co-ordinates from Address values in Common Data Service Records
This is a reference post for another blog post I am working on. I figured it would be a good as standalone post as well. Power Automate has opened up a whole new world of connectors and APIs that would traditionally have been reserved for professional developers. A great use case for Power Automate calling… Continue reading Get Geo Co-ordinates from Address values in Common Data Service Records
What is the Power Platform?
The concept of the Power Platform is just over a year old. However, I find that there are still a lot of clients, consultants and even Microsoft employees that don’t fully grasp just what the Power Platform is and what it can do. Is the Power Platform just Dynamics 365? Isn’t PowerApps a front end… Continue reading What is the Power Platform?
