Patching and Excel Table

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 363

I am using Sharepoint as a datasource. I need to write the information from a sharepoint record to an excel spreadsheet that has a bunch of formulas. and a various number of tables within it. How do I patch an excel spreadsheet? Is the process that same as patching a sharepoint list? When importing the excel spreadsheet and I choose the table it asks if I want to use a created column as the key column or let power apps generate the column in the excel table. I let power apps take care of that addition.

 

I keep get the error, "This item has already been created on the server. This  wont work because it would move cells in a table on your worksheet."

 

Below is my code:

 

Patch(
General,
{
'Project Name': ThisItem.Title,
City: ThisItem.City,
State: ThisItem.State,
'Requested By': ThisItem.RequestBy

}
)

    Hi @colbyturybury ,

     

    To add a new record into a table, you need below syntax:

    Patch(
    General,
    Defaults(General),
    {
    'Project Name': ThisItem.Title,
    City: ThisItem.City,
    State: ThisItem.State,
    'Requested By': ThisItem.RequestBy
    }
    )

     

    Best regards,
