Microsoft Dataverse is a powerful, cloud-based platform that makes it easy to store, organize, and manage business data all in one place. Whether you’re building apps, automating workflows, or analyzing data, Dataverse acts as the central hub for everything. It uses a system of tables (similar to spreadsheets) where each row holds a data record and each column stores a specific type of information like names, dates, or amounts.
Dataverse comes with a set of standard tables ready to use, but you can also create your own custom tables to suit your organization’s unique needs. With tools like Power Query, you can bring in data from multiple sources and prepare it for action. Once your data is in Dataverse, you can start building custom apps in Power Apps with no coding required.
