Exam PL-600 topic 2 question 3 discussion

I think is A, because it's recommended that you download an Excel template. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/user/import-data

It's A, the reason is that Contacts is an existing table, so you could not import data from any excel format, so there is an option which gives you the correct structure, and avoid failures when importing

The Import from Excel feature (C) is more appropriate for your needs because it directly facilitates the loading of existing contact information from an Excel file into Microsoft Dataverse or other Power Platform components. The Excel Template feature (A) is useful for creating a standardized format for data entry, but it is not specifically designed for importing existing data into Microsoft Power Platform.

Excel Template is for reporting.

The Import from Excel feature is specifically designed for importing data from Excel files into Microsoft Dataverse This feature allows you to map the columns in the Excel file to the fields in your Dataverse The Excel Template feature is useful for exporting data to Excel in a structured format, not for importing data into a Power Platform solution

This is an import for just one time, we don't need template

Since they already have an Excel workbook with the contacts in it, I would think that the import from my cell would be much faster.

The answer is C. When you look at the option from ACCOUNT, for example, you see "Import from Excel". The other is Excel Templates - > Download of Upload Template, but that is for Excel reporting.

Vote C

To import data using an Excel template, we must first export the data from the Dataverse table to an Excel file. We then need to update this excel file with the required data and upload it back to Dataverse using the "import from Excel file" feature. So, in the end we still need to upload some Excel file to import the data into the system whether we are using a template data file or an Excel data file. The template file is still an Excel data file. So, my answer is C - import from excel file.

A or C. A -> multiple cases all the time again -> a list of contacts only once? (sure to re-occur). the template itself does not import it. c. is a full solution. the excel is already existing. but in practice i use A. I go for C.

Option C is the correct answer. The Excel Template feature is not meant for data import but for reporting purposes.

C. Import from Excel feature: This is the most efficient and straightforward method for loading data from an Excel file into Power Platform. Power Platform features like Power Apps and flows offer built-in "Import from Excel" options that allow you to easily select the file, map data fields to relevant tables or entities, and trigger the data import.

recommendation should be option A

I would select C and not A because: 1. Template option is just recomended, not mandatory: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/user/import-data#download-an-excel-template 2. This will also add some extra work to copy the existing data into proper columns of the template 3. You could directly import any CSV file, just do the correct mapping.

It was asking what tools you will use to import the data, so yes you first using the template but you will import it via ''import from excel', you template fulfill, so C is the good answer
