How to do a lookup once in a forall()

I want to ping the SQL table once per record. Instead of a lookup for each column one at a time. My forall() may get quite big. I want to limit the server calls.

ClearCollect(AttachedFile_Data,ForAll(AttachedFile_PreData,
{ FileName: FileName,
 WO_Num: ThisRecord.WO_Num,
 SNRange: ThisRecord.SNRange,
 Filename: ThisRecord.FileName,
 WO_Line: ThisRecord.WO_Line,
 OrderNumberOB: ThisRecord.WO_Num&"-"&ThisRecord.WO_Line,
 ShouldBeName: "WO "&WO_Num&"-"&WO_Line&" "&SNRange&".pdf",
 GUIDOrder: LookUp('[dbo].[View_Orderboard_Acctivate]',OrderNumber=WO_Num And LineNumber=WO_Line).GUIDOrder,
 GUIDOrderDetail: LookUp('[dbo].[View_Orderboard_Acctivate]',OrderNumber=WO_Num And LineNumber=WO_Line).GUIDOrderdetail,
 FileNameCheck: If(SNRange=LookUp('[dbo].[View_Orderboard_Acctivate]',OrderNumber=WO_Num And LineNumber=WO_Line)._SNValve,true,false)
}

The statement above works, but I want to do a single lookup into a variable, then use variable.GUIDOrder and variable.GUIDOrderDtail, etc. I'm sure there is a way to do this with a With() statement, but I couldnt place it in this statement in a place where it worked proper. Well, I never resolved syntax problems.

Helpie?

Thanks

@martinav ,

ClearCollect( AttachedFile_Data, ForAll(AttachedFile_PreData, With({currentLookUp:LookUp('[dbo].[View_Orderboard_Acctivate]',OrderNumber=WO_Num And LineNumber=WO_Line)}, { FileName: FileName, WO_Num: ThisRecord.WO_Num, SNRange: ThisRecord.SNRange, Filename: ThisRecord.FileName, WO_Line: ThisRecord.WO_Line, OrderNumberOB: ThisRecord.WO_Num&"-"&ThisRecord.WO_Line, ShouldBeName: "WO "&WO_Num&"-"&WO_Line&" "&SNRange&".pdf", GUIDOrder: currentLookUp.GUIDOrder, GUIDOrderDetail: currentLookUp.GUIDOrderdetail, FileNameCheck: SNRange=currentLookUp._SNValve } ) ) )

I think that you are aware that this function makes SQL query calls as many records AttachedFile_PreData has.

Hope it helps !

Hmm, this is what I did, and it broke. I'll try again and see, and report back.

Ok, I remember now. doing the With() there breaks ThisRecord due to ambiguity. The As varForAllValue in the ForAll() fixes this. THanks @gabibalaban and @RandyHayes !

learCollect(AttachedFile_Data,ForAll(AttachedFile_PreData As varForAllValue,With({varLookupFirst:LookUp('[dbo].[View_Orderboard_Acctivate]',OrderNumber=varForAllValue.WO_Num And LineNumber=varForAllValue.WO_Line)}, { FileName: varForAllValue.FileName, WO_Num: varForAllValue.WO_Num, SNRange: varForAllValue.SNRange, Filename: varForAllValue.FileName, WO_Line: varForAllValue.WO_Line, OrderNumberOB: varForAllValue.WO_Num&"-"&varForAllValue.WO_Line, ShouldBeName: "WO "&varForAllValue.WO_Num&"-"&varForAllValue.WO_Line&" "&varForAllValue.SNRange&".pdf", GUIDOrder: varLookupFirst.GUIDOrder, GUIDOrderDetail: varLookupFirst.GUIDOrderdetail, FileNameCheck: If(varForAllValue.SNRange=varLookupFirst._SNValve,true,false) } )))

Good catch! I took a quick look once @gabibalaban included me on the post. Sorry was knee deep in work that I didn't look closely for that...you are correct - in general, stay away from ThisRecord. Use the As clause as much as possible.

But, in the context of your formula, you don't need the As clause as each record generated in your ForAll will be generated in context of the AttachedFile_PreData records, so there is no collision.
