Building a barcode scanner in inventory app

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Ceres2186489 110
Hi! I am building a stock take app for my colleagues to manage inventory items in our department. I've successfully integrated the Excel table as the data source, following the helpful guide from Shane's YouTube video (Power Apps Barcode Scanner for Inventory Records) and Reza's YouTube video (How to Select MULTIPLE Items in Power Apps Gallery & PATCH). The single barcode scan is working perfectly.
 
Please take a look on formula below. 
 
On scan property of barcode scanner
 
On select property of Update button
 
Now, I would like to step further to update the data source when multiple barcodes are scanned when I press "Update" button. I'm not sure how to adapt the formula to handle multiple inputs.
Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

    Hello,
     
    As you already have stored the data in your location collection, it is very simple to go ahead and run a loop on collection and patch the rows in your Datasource which is Excel.
     
    Following is the sample code,
     
    ForAll(
    colData1,
    Patch(Datasource, Defaults(Datasource), { Field1: Field1, Field2: Field2 })
);
