Hi,

I am new to power apps and have only been using it for about a week.

I am trying to create an app that I want to use to mark a large number of papers (over 400).

I was able to do it and it functions normally for the most part, but when I try to mark multiple papers one after another successively, the patch function doesn't seem to be updating the scores properly. The first about 6 scores would get updated properly but all the following ones would not be updated. I tried using IfError() function along with Notify() to see if there was a problem but it there doesnt seem to be. The code I am using to submit the data is:

IfError(
 Patch(
 Table1,
 LookUp(
 Table1,
 Code = varSubmissionID
 ),
 {Score: NumberInput_Score.Value}
 ),
 // If there's an error during the patch operation
 Notify("Error: Score submission failed. Please try again."),
 
 Notify("Score has been successfully Submitted")
)

Any help to get this resolved would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi @balanmss ,

Sadly, I believe the issue is using Excel, which is a terrible Data Source - do you have access to SharePoint Lists ? If so I suggest you switch to them.
