Import Data from Blank Canvas to SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 31

Hello 

 

I am a beginner and have designed an app using a blank canvas, I would like to import the data and add a new record to a SharePoint List which I have now created (after completing the app)

 

The SharePoint Details are below: 

 SharePoint ListSharePoint List

 

In my app I have made a collection for the above which works well with the below: 

Collect(Summary,{Sales_Consultant_Name:Concat('Sales Consultant Name'.SelectedItems, 'Sales Consultants' & ";"), Customer_Name:'Customer Name'.Text, Expected_Invoice_Amount: 'Expected Invoice Amount'.Text,Certainty_Percentage:'Certainty Result'.Text, Invoice_Month:Concat('Month selection'.SelectedItems, Month), Next_Logical_Step:'Next Logical Step'.Text})

 

The 'Sales Consultant' and the 'Invoice Month' are a ComboBox. 

 

Kind Regards

Casey-Lee

    Hey @Casey-Lee 

     


    Can you share more details on the usage of collection in this case? You can directly patch the data to create a new records without using the collection as:

    Patch(SpListName,Defaults(SpListName),{Sales_Consultant_Name:Concat('Sales Consultant Name'.SelectedItems, 'Sales Consultants' & ";"), Customer_Name:'Customer Name'.Text, Expected_Invoice_Amount: 'Expected Invoice Amount'.Text,Certainty_Percentage:'Certainty Result'.Text, Invoice_Month:Concat('Month selection'.SelectedItems, Month), Next_Logical_Step:'Next Logical Step'.Text})

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Thank you @yashag2255 for the assistance. 

     

    If I would like to import  the data based on sales consultant name selected in the ComboBox, please advise how I would do that? 

     

    For example. if the Sales Consultant Name is 'Dean Abrahams'

     

    Kind Regards

    Hi @Casey-Lee,

     

    Do you mean patch a new record to SP list from the collection?

    You can try this:

    Collect('SP list', LookUp(Summary, 'Sales Consultant Name' ='Dean Abrahams' ))

    Note: the column name of collection should be the same with SP list.

    Best regards,

    Sik

    Hey @Casey-Lee 

     

    If you wish to get data based on selection in combobox control, then you can use the below expressions as:

    ClearCollect( MyCollectionName, Filter(SpListName, 'Sales Consultant Name' in Combobox1.SelectedItems.ColumnName) )

    Here, ColumnName name needs to be replaced with the column which holds the value of Sales Consultants name based on the items in combobo control.

     

    Hope this Helps!
