Check for duplicate IDs in SQL db from form input

 I want to only patch the data if 'txt_sp_id' (form) is not found in Speaker:sp_id

 

ForAll(Speaker,
If (sp_id <> Value(txt_sp_id.Text),
Patch(
Speaker,
LookUp(Speaker, sp_id=Speaker[@sp_id]),
{
sp_id: Value(txt_sp_id.Text),
sp_name: txt_sp_name.Text,
sp_email: txt_sp_email.Text
}
)));

 

So far, I am getting this error: This function cannot operate on the same data source that is used in ForAll.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    I am not sure of your data model here, but the below will update the Table for every value not equalling the Text Box value

    UpdateIf(
     Speaker,
     sp_id <> Value(txt_sp_id.Text),
     {
     sp_id: Value(txt_sp_id.Text),
     sp_name: txt_sp_name.Text,
     sp_email: txt_sp_email.Text
     }
    );

    Hi @WarrenBelz ,

    this formula works! But for this -

    UpdateIf(
    Sessions,
    And(sp_id <> Value(txt_sp_id.Text),(cl_code <> txt_cl_code.Text)),
    {
    cl_code: txt_cl_code.Text,
    sp_id: Value(txt_sp_id.Text)
    }
    );

     

    There's nothing sent to the db...

    @Anonymous ,

    Apart from some extra brackets, this should work assuming both values do not equal - are you sure you don't need Or() here ?

    UpdateIf(
     Sessions,
     sp_id <> Value(txt_sp_id.Text) && cl_code <> txt_cl_code.Text, 
     {
     cl_code: txt_cl_code.Text,
     sp_id: Value(txt_sp_id.Text)
     }
    );
