Insert and show decimal number SQL Server

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Good afternoon,

 

I'm having some troubles while trying to use Patch to insert a decimal number into my SQL Database.

 

The data type of the field is "Numeric(18,2)", and I'd like to insert values like 0,05 or 0,50. Whenever I insert this values using Patch, I get the "Unknown Mashup Exception" error.

 

On the other side, if the input field is set to Text, it works because I use dot instead of comma (like 0.05), but the database saves only the number and forget the 0's. So for instance, 0.05 becomes a 5.

 

Is there any way to cast the format number so the database would save it instead of showing me this error?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I just tested patching Numeric (18,2) field in SQL Server wihtin PowerApps, it works from my side.

    Also tested with 0.05 and 0.50, all works.

    Thing you may give it a try:

    1. Take use of the value function:

    For example:

    Patch('[dbo].[Numeric]',Defaults('[dbo].[Numeric]'),{Id:3,Number:Value(TextInput1.Text)})

    If you would like to use the TextInput as the value input, then when use it under the patch for the Number field, add a value function.

    Regards,

    Michael

    We have a field type decimal (18,1) in on-premises SQL and we have not luck using the patch function to update this column.

    Text fields work fine though. Any solution?
