Proper SPO List Development Technique
Hope this question is understandable. I started out with a simple list, but as things go i was asked to make mods to it to include more data. The list was originally built so the PowerApp form would allow one form to gather data inputs for a number of global locations.
- Site 1 - Data Value
- Site 2- Data Value
- Site N - data value
Then I was asked to add another type of data for the same sites in a way that the person entering could choose what type of data to enter. I went with a PowerApp form that loaded the appropriate data input questions for that type.
In the SPO list i added columns for this data type and updated the previous type, below. When imported to PowerBI i had to 'unpivot' the data to get it to aggregate by site. That worked okay for the data that I had to input.
Now i am tasked to add 5 more data types for each site. This is quickly becoming unmanageable. Being a novice is there a better way to do this than continuing to add columns that describe Site/Data Type?
