Can I create a loop in PA?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 87

Hello Friends, 
I have this code where I'm trying to say: if an Apple Status is Eaten make all the Apple Seed = Eaten 

Every Apple has many seeds.

This code only changes the first seed's status in a list to eaten but I want the whole list to be = to eaten

 

Can I create a loop in PA for it to keep running the code so the whole list's statuses get affected?

 

Here is the code

Patch(

ApplesSeeds,

LookUp(AppleSeeds,AppleSeeds_Apple.AppleID= AppleIDDataCardValue.Text

),

{

AppleSeedStatus: LookUp(Choices(Status), Text(Value) = "Eaten",Value)

}

);

FYI data source for this is dataverse

    Hi @PowerAppsRookie ,

     

    You may want to look into using the UpdateIf() function: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/function-update-updateif

    I would def do what @BCBuizer said but just to answer your question about loops in powerapps. There is a ForAll statement which is as close to a loop as we get I believe. It will essentially loop through all the rows in a table/array that you pass to it. You can filter and sort an array inline and pass the result of that into a ForAll and then have it execute code on each of them. 

     

    Here is the documentation from MSFT for the ForAll function
