Скачать или смотреть From Clunky Dropdowns to Filter Pills: Better Filtering UX in Power Apps

In this video, I’ll show you how to build SaaS‑style Filter Pills in a Canvas App, providing clear, visual indicators of what’s filtered, an easy way to adjust selections, and zero mystery about what’s currently active. And we'll be using 100% out‑of‑the‑box controls—no PCFs, no hidden components, no tricks that break maintainability. Just practical UI engineering applied to Power Apps.

You’ll learn how to create a fully functional filtering experience that includes:
Auto‑sizing pills that expand based on the selected values
Wrapping behavior so pills flow naturally across rows
Multi‑select compatibility for real‑world filtering
Clear‑one or clear‑all interactions modeled after modern SaaS UX patterns

If you’ve ever built a Power App and thought:
“It works… but it doesn’t feel modern,”
this video will change your filtering toolbox forever.
