Hi,

Could you please check if the default value in the SQL table is set to NULL/blank?
In my case, I have a SQL table where I can define the default value for a column.
If the Patch function submits Blank(), the SQL column may override it with its predefined default value.
Below is an example of a SQL table where a default value is mandatory:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

SQL Decimal columns do not accept Blank() or Null directly in Power Apps.

Instead, when you pass Blank(), Power Apps converts it to 0.00, as SQL treats NULL and 0 differently.

Try this formula

Approach 1

Patch(
Local_Portfolio_Information_Editable,
LookUp(Local_Portfolio_Information_Editable, ID = "60796_19580_70000SE"),
{ MSLP_Plus_Value_for_Creation: Blank() }
)

Approach 2

Patch(
Local_Portfolio_Information_Editable,
LookUp(Local_Portfolio_Information_Editable, ID = "60796_19580_70000SE"),
{ MSLP_Plus_Value_for_Creation: Text(Blank()) }
)

If your column is set to NOT NULL, it cannot store NULL.

ALTER TABLE YourTable ALTER COLUMN MSLP_Plus_Value_for_Creation DECIMAL(18,2) NULL;
