Online Form
Paul is correct.
Simplest way is to Create a list in SharePoint, with all the fields that you want.
Then Click the PowerApps Button in the menu, then "Create an App", name the app and it auto generates the app for you. This can then be customised as desired, you'd need to do a bit of learning, but the docs are quite good. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/getting-started)
Next you would need to create a "Flow" to send for approval. In you list you created above, click on the "flow" button, then "Create a flow", choose one of the approval work flows in the list that meets your need (I think there is one called send to manager for approval). If there isn't one that meets the need you can make your own. Again a bit of learning is required but again the docs are ok. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/)
Typically I can have a basic app up and running in 30 mins ... key thing to remember is that users must be licensed within Office365 ... so can't make the app for non-licensed users.
Can also connect to Excel, as long as saved in SharePoint or OneDrive and many other data sources.
Have fun!
actually I am trying to create an form that has a trigger functionality that someone has to approve the form.
Do you have an example that I can play with?

Hi Stephen,
It would be much appreciated to have something to play with to start.
Thank you
Its not that easy ... as I can't share it with externals.
But if you go to the PowerApps landing page, you can create a demo app, which should give you the idea.

Likewise with Flow as well (this is our regional link your's might be different):

- Hi Stephen,
I was able to manage to create from some defaults template of MS powerapps but I'm getting this error message
"The Specified record was not found. Serer Response: Failed to read metadata from file source. Response from the end service is: NOt fount clientrequestId: some alpha numeric combi"
I already included the user to the excel file from my one drive.
Thanks in advance.
