So who am I and what is this blog about?

I will try to keep it short and simple. I'm Matt Lavieri and I'll be blogging about Microsoft products such as O365 and SharePoint, plus some 3rd party tools that you will likely encounter in the space. At the time of writing this I'm a Manager at Protiviti specializing in O365, but my journey with Microsoft actually began 10 years ago when I was a high school student working at my local Best Buy. At this job I would get my first Microsoft recognition through their ExpertZone program for retail associates. Then in college I served as Microsoft Student Partner and eventually a Senior Student Partner through Microsoft's MSP program. From there I started working as a SharePoint consultant at Protiviti where I've been exposed to the many iterations for SharePoint from 2007 to its current form in Office 365 and just about everything in between.

So here were are, I hope you find this blog helpful, or at least a bit entertaining.

SharePoint Site Theming: Header Background Colors

As Microsoft rolls out the new Mega Menu experience for the Modern UI some of you may be wondering where these colors come from. In this post I will review the header background color options and call out which theme colors get used along the way.

I used the Microsoft Theme generator ( https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric#/styles/themegenerator ) to create my theme and applied the theme to my tenant using the Add-PnPTenantTheme ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/add-pnptenanttheme?view=sharepoint-ps ) command to apply the following theme in PowerShell, I've also added comments to lines that impact themes for your reference. @{ "themePrimary" = "#0a162b"; #Theme Dark Local "themeLighterAlt" = "

PowerApps Delegation Warning

Update Aug 15 2019 - Microsoft has updated PowerApps to allow for some complex SharePoint data delegation, this will hopefully resolve most issues you were seeing when working with SharePoint data:  https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/sharepoint-delegation-improvements/ If you've tried to use the Filter, LookUp or Search actions in PowerApps you have seen the yellow warning error that shows a 'delegation warning' and you might have even ignored it because your PowerApp was working fine in testing. However once you get into larger data sets your PowerApp will have some issues so in this blog I will attempt to explain what the delegation warning is and how you can fix your PowerApp. Delegation So what even is Delegation in PowerApps? When doing any sort of data manipulation for an app, PowerApps will try to push the processing of that data to the source system instead of doing all of the manipulation in the app. This is done to increase the efficiency of you
