Form not updating - Need help

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by scarlson 10

I need to add values to my excel file - On the first page on my app I add 9 values to the table and submit the form - I tried doing the same steps and submitting the second form in the same way but I know I need to do an update the form properly. I don't know what values to put in for Old Record and Current Record because I just want to append the new data to the existing record.

    Hi @scarlson,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of your first page within your app?

    Could you please show a bit more about your scenario?

     

    More details about the Update function in PowerApps, please check the following article:

    Update function in PowerApps

     

    In addition, I don't think the Update function could achieve your needs in PowerApps, please take a try to achieve your needs with the UpdateIf function. I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:1.JPG

     

    Set the OnSelect property of the Button (Next Button) control to the following formula:

    UpdateIf(Table1,Email=Form1.LastSubmit.Email,Form2.Updates);Navigate(Screen4,ScreenTransition.Fade)

    Note: The Table1 represents the Excel Table data source within my app. The Form1 is a EditForm (whose Display mode is in Edit) within my first pape, the Form2 is a EditForm (whose Display mode is in Edit) within my second page. The Email is a column in my Excel table. The Screen4 represents next page.

     

    More details about the UpdateIf function in PowerApps, please check the following article:

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Kris - 

     

    I solved the problem by merging both of my forms into 1 large form. Thank you for this information - very helpful.
