Thank you for this easy-to-understand explanation. It was just so easy for me to understand compared to other videos I have looked at. This gives a high level view of components and functionalities which is important for me given that's how my brain makes sense of information. So thank you so much. I am an Instructional Designer at a University in South Africa, so helping me understand this has also helped those students I support :) you are doing incredibly important work, thank you!

[@JeugdVoetbalMereU8]

You are the 1st coach I encounter doing exactly the same as I used to do: in a staccato manner, hammering down as much knowledge in the shortest time space possible, using the most concise, self-produced explanatory words available. This means you LOVE your students/public. But April, it is damn hard too after a while. I managed to do it 15 years (Excel and Access for advanced users). Then i burned up and moved myself in a corner, quietly developing apps and dashboards. So be carefull, people can be so demanding and esp. take everything for granted, sucking you empty, but for now, let the EDUCATIONAL FORCE be with you!

Great video! Is there anyway to filter a choice column with multiple responses allowed? I only seem to be able to filter by the options set as radio buttons

[@TM-vg4mx]

I like the list functionality, I needed to transform Excel type html to Sharepoint, and I was thinking just to use Excel but list seems nice. thank you

[@AprilDunnam]

SharePoint Lists are very powerful!

[@olgamelo4416]

Hi April, thank you for the amazing videos! I have a question on a sharepoint document library. I do have a calculated column that gets the 1st letter of a client name. When I pinned it to the filters pane is not sorted alphabetically. I've add the column sort to the view but nothing seems to work. If this is not possible. Is there a way to group the library using 3 columns. The grouping seems to be limited to two columns. Any ideas?

[@vbaaccess1365]

Hello April, Great work! But still, is there any trick to create an auto number field to use it as ID record in the list? Lack of such field as standart option is a real downer for those who wants use lists as data source for ms access.

[@iMetaSmith]

What is that formula please? Love your show!!

[@frederickatuahene6119]

Hi April, thanks for all the wonderful videos. They have been really helpful. Am looking for a a way to put permissions on list views. Don’t know if you have a workaround. Thanks

[@AprilDunnam]

You're welcome! Unfortunately SharePoint doesn't support permissions on list views. You can do things like filtering a view based on data in a person field to change what users see in the view. However, that isn't scalable and isn't actually security. It's just security by obscurity, if they know how to change url's they can still get to the data.

[@onexl001]

[@AprilDunnam]

[@AIAvatar.]

Hi April, I wanted to know if there is any way to share your SharePoint site to people outside of your organization (people who don't have a Microsoft email account)?

[@JustinWyllie]

Can you create Word or Excel documents in SharePoint?

[@gundlapallidevendra8523]

Hi April. Thanks for making video on Sharepoint Online stuffs as well.. I have a doubt in PowerApp. Is there any way to log the errors in PowerApps either ootb or custom way of capturing is also fine. Also would like to know how to track the history in powerautomate after 28days.

[@AprilDunnam]

Hey there - yes there is. There is an IfError() function in Power Apps that you can use to catch errors and you can output those to a data source of your choice. Same thing with Power Automate. You can add in actions in your flows that will output logging into another data source (SP list, etc) to have that history. Here's some more info on Power Apps error handling: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-iferror

Hii , can you tell me how to add 2 images in header like a theme in SharePoint?

[@roya2045]

Hi April I have a query, I have Office 365 Business basic & Business Standard licenses. I wanted to know does share point require development like its done in web development. I am completely new to this concept but I have seen some organizations using intranet websites, is developed in share point & does this require back end database. The share point app that i have in my Office 365 is online when I open that its plain without much data & content. Kindly clear my doubt its a request

[@melbailey9218]

How do you modify the navigation tabs!?

Hi April! Don't know if Dunnam is your maiden name or married name, but since there aren't too many of us who have this spelling, I thought I'd stop and say HELLO. Also, I did need this video and you did a great job. Thanks! -Robin Dunnam

Hi , I am using Sharepoint List as backend for the application developed in PowerApp. My client would like to block the direct access to sharepoint list via browser. Is there any option ?

Do you have such Intro video and then sequence of learning videos thereafter for Power Apps? If so, can you please provide us the link?

Hi Sue - I don't have something exactly like this for Power Apps but I do plan to make one. I do have a "how to get started" Power Apps video and a Beginner Power Apps playlist though which guides you through some topics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3mXnZ2caauoiqc

Hi Ma'am. Such a wonderful Video. Just one question we can connect MS List of Excel OneDrive? All Updates to get automatically captured to an excel connected to list?

Not out of the box. But you can use Power Automate to sync the two.

What's the best certification path for a SharePoint administrator now that MS-300 is retired? Start with MS-700? It seems counterintuitive that SP is nowhere on the new MS certification poster. Thanks for the great video.

[@AprilDunnam]

Hey Ryan - Yeah the MS 700 is pretty much all there is left from an administrator side of things. There are some development related certifications you can get for SharePoint like the MS 600 which covers SharePoint Framework development.

Are we required to have knowledge of coding to be a SharePoint Developer?

[@AprilDunnam]

There are different kinds of development that you can do with SharePoint so it depends on what you're wanting to do. For example, we can use low code tools to develop on SharePoint with the Power Platform and List formatting. But if you want to do more complex things like custom web parts and page extensions then yes, you do need to know how to code (C#, JavaScript, etc)

[@DerekHavelock]

Your cursor is jumping around the screen, clicking on a variety of things. Very difficult to follow, as you just say "if I click on this", "as we can see here", etc. Very difficult to follow as I can't see where your cursor is dashing to. Would have been helpful if you'd highlighted the cursor bright yellow or similar so that we can see where you are moving so rapidly to. Can't follow. Had to stop after 6 minutes.

[@AprilDunnam]

I’m sure there are other videos you can find that are more to your liking. We don’t all have access to editing tools which allow us to do such things. I didn’t at the time I made this video. I have since purchased a video editing tool which highlights the cursor and you’ll see I do this in my recent videos. When commenting on peoples free content please try to have some empathy. You do not know everyone’s personal circumstances. We don’t all have thousands of dollars to throw at equipment to make videos. We do the best we can with what we have.
