PowerApps DropDown values not visible in Excel

Hey Everyone, 

 

Reaching out for some guidance. 

 

 

Building an app to log product quality issues, right now its excel based table which captures the information collected in the Powerapps form. I have 5 dropdowns in my form that for some reason, populate and function just fine within the app, but when I submit the form, those 5 dropdown fields, show up as blank when the record is transferred to excel sheet. 

 

Interestingly, when I search records within the app, I am able to retrieve the information entered in those dropdown boxes. 

 

So far I have looked into update properties and onchange but I cant figure out. These fields were populating just fine, I did not make any changes to the default properties, but stopped out of nowhere. 

 

 

 

Please help me troubleshoot.

Please let me know what other information can I share to help you help me.

 

Thank you!

    Hi @safifaruqi 

     

    We can try to use Patch command instead of SubmitForm. The below code is for new or update.

     

     

    Patch(
     DataSource,
     If(
     EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.New,
     Defaults(DataSource),
     LookUp(
     DataSource,
     ID = SelectedId or Gallery1.Selected.ID
     )
     ),
     {
     Issue : Dropdown1.Selected.Value,
     'Sub Issue': Dropdown2.Selected.Value,
     'Seviority': Dropdown3.Selected.Value
     }
    );

    just tried the patch, still same output. I am guessing its got to do with the update properties of the form in someway.

    Let me try this. Is excel stored in one drive?

    this is what I had used for the on select property : 

    Patch(
    QMS_Data_Table,
    If(
    EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.New,
    Defaults(QMS_Data_Table),
    LookUp(
    QMS_Data_Table,
    ISSUE_x0020_ID = IssueID_SubmitScreen.Text Or BrowseGallery1.Selected.ISSUE_x0020_ID )
    ),
    {
    ISSUE: drpIssue.Selected.Result,
    'SUB-ISSUE': DrpSubIssueType.Selected.Result,
    'SEVERITY': drpSeverity.Selected.Severity
    }
    );

    Navigate('Success Screen',ScreenTransition.Fade)
