I'm not sure, but I guess that most of the readers of this web page wouldn't expect that something that is something so less Big Data as PowerApps has become one of my favorite tools to ingest Data into an analytical pipeline.

 

But PowerApps is so simple, but powerful (I have to admit that I'm still struggling with some concepts from time to time), that for now in almost any project I would recommend a PowerApps app (love that) instead of using an Excel file whenever user are considered to enhance data or provide their domain expertise to some data quality related issues.

 

Besides this practical point of view (from the perspective of an analytical pipeline), it's also fun to play around and building apps. It has never been easier to bring my SQL Server related data to my ios powered smartphone before :-)
