Nathalie Leenders

Power Platfrom Consultant at Wortell

I’ve started this site to share the knowledge I’ve gained initially as a Power Platform Developer. In January 2024 I started as a Consultant at Wortell, and in June I also became an MCT. Being a former hairdresser, turned IT, no coding background, no degree and self-taught on most things, I feel it’s important to share the knowledge, so others can also learn from it.

I was awarded with the Microsoft MVP Award for the first time in June 2023, and re-awarded in 2024. Still very excited to continue to share the knowledge!

My most recent engagement was in Prague where I did a workshop on Power Automate together with the amazing Hugo Bernier, a Women in Tech panel with Angie and Valerie, and spoke on Virtual Tables.

Adding a decimal count to your Power Automate Flow (Float/Increment variable)

I’ve explained how to count in a variable, but how do you count in a decimal? I had a usecase, where we wanted to create a version number metadata field. We could of course use an integer, count using increment, and upload to the field, however that only does ‘major’ counts i.e 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0 etc. How do I count in minor, decimals, from 0.1 to 0.2 to 03 or even 0.01 to 0.02? To do this, you can follow the same logic, but use a float value instead of integer.

Usecase You’re trying to use Generative AI features in Copilot Studio, however it says it’s not supported. How do you fix this? Enable the settings for your environment You need to be a Power Platform admin for this. Go to the Power Platform admin center CLick on your environment. On the lower right corner, enable these 2 settings: Now you can use GenAI in your Copilot Studio bot!
