Trying to get syntax right for a patch.

Im in powerapp form for vacation requests and going back to the employee master to update fields there.

Emergency Hours Used is a field on the master

I need to set this field = to a calculation of that field and the hours which is on the request form.

Cant figure out how to reference the emergency hours left in the subtraction

Patch('Lyn Employees',First(Filter('Lyn Employees',Clock_x0020_Number=DataCardValue3.Text)), { Emergency_x0020_Hours_x0020_Used:Emergency_x0020_hours_x0020_left -Value(DataCardValue31.Text),

Hi @dmclaughlin ,

Try the below

With( { wUsed: LookUp( 'Lyn Employees', Clock_x0020_Number=DataCardValue3.Text ) }, Patch( 'Lyn Employees', {ID:wUsed.ID}, { Emergency_x0020_Hours_x0020_Used: wUsed.Emergency_x0020_hours_x0020_left - Value(DataCardValue31.Text) } ) )
