Limit number of entries for user

Hi,

 

I am currently building a recognition/praise system using a SharePoint list and power app. There is essentially 4 types, monthly, quarterly, yearly and just because. 

 

Everything is working at the moment, however I want to see if it's possible to limit the number of times each user can submit a type of request each period.

 

For example for November a user can only submit 4 monthly recognitions and for yearly can only submit 2 for the year.

 

Not sure if this is a power app or automate solution, but would be keen to hear your thoughts.

 

Thanks,

Georgia

    Hi @Georgia12 ,

     

    You can set a rule for submitting records, for example,

     

    Before patching a new Monthly record, check if the same record exists, and then submit the record if the item does not exist

    If(
     IsBlank(LookUp(SPList,essentially="monthly" && 'Created By'.Email=User().Email)),
     Patch(SPList,Defaults(SPList),{XXX}
    )

     

    Best Regards,

    Bof
