Hi @PowerAddict and other experts, 

 

I am trying to automate the cash received using patch. I am so exciting. Having an issue for the Invoice number field

 

Annotation 2019-11-27 235419.jpg

 

Patch('Cash Received',Defaults('Cash Received'),{Date:DataCardValue180_2.SelectedDate},{'Customer Name':DataCardValue181_2.Selected},{Amount:Value(DataCardValue182_2.Text)},{'Invoice_x0020_Number':DataCardValue179_2.Text});Refresh('Cash Received');

 

Thank you 

Osmand

    Since the error states that a record is expected, you might want to lookup the invoices with the invoice number in the text field, using something like this:

    Lookup(Invoices, 'Invoice Number' = DataCardValue179_2.Text)

    You might have to convert the text value to a number using the Value function. L

    Let me know if this helps.

    Thank you @PowerAddict  but it did not work, may be i did a mistake. What I did, I changed the field type from look up to Text in the SharePoint then did the formula

     

    Thank you so much
