Submit a form with multiple rows

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello there,

 

I need some help building my PowerApp, I'm doing an attendance App and I have a list of employees in a SharePoint List, I need to set their status every day and keep track of that status in PowerBI, so I need the historical data. What I want is to select multiples employees and set their status to "Attended" for example, using one Submit button. And avoid going 

 

NameStatusDate
Employee 1Attended7/5/2022
Employee 2 

Unattended 

7/5/2022

Employee 3

Attended

7/5/2022

 

I already have a screen to fill the attendance, but I have to click each employee in my gallery, set it status and click submit, then go and click to the next employee and repeat the process. I want to select multiple employees at a time, and set their status with one Submit

I already manage to update several rows in my SharePoint list with patch function, but that only change the values of the existing rows, what I need is to add new rows to my SP list in order to have the historical data on each date.

    You are showing a form on your picture - do you need this in your case?  It sounds like you just need the ability to check off multiple users in the gallery and then update their status?

    Is that what you are aiming for?

    Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, I want to achieve that, but the way I did it is with a Patch function, and I have the ability to select some users and update their status:

    But for example I set their status to Attended on 6/30/2022

    If I go to my powerapp and select the same users for today, I will lose the data from 6/30/2022 since is been updated and not added to the list, and I need to keep track of the status on previous dates.

    Trying to read through what you need...

    Are you stating that you want to set the status based on the date shown in the gallery or the date shown in the date picker control?  I'm a little confused on what the actual issue is.  

    It seems you are wanting to store the historical data as you mention, but does that mean you want historical data that they did not attend as well as the change that they did attend?

    If you could clarify, that would be great.
