Notify function with LookUp

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 34

Hello,

 

I want to Notify user if Lookup does not find a matching value in the Dataverse. So far I have managed to write below code on OnChange event of a txtSearch but I am not sure what is wrong. DelayOutput is set to true 

 

If(
 !IsBlank(""),
 With(
 {
 wRecord: LookUp(
 'Owners',
 'Owner Email' = txtSearch.Value
 )
 }, 
 If(
 IsBlank(wRecord.'Managers-Email'),
 Notify(
 "No matching email found in the tool.",
 NotificationType.Error
 );
 Reset(txtSearch)
 )
 )
)

    Hi,

     

    At present this code is not running at all due to your first condition within the If statement, as it will always evaluate to false:

    You should be able to change this to refer to the length of the search text so that it only does the lookup when the search text input has a value in it:

    If(
     Len(txtSearch.Text)>0,
     With(
     {
     wRecord: LookUp(
     'Owners',
     'Owner Email' = txtSearch.Text
     )
     }, 
     If(
     IsBlank(wRecord.'Managers-Email'),
     Notify(
     "No matching email found in the tool.",
     NotificationType.Error
     );
     Reset(txtSearch)
     )
     )
    )

     

    Also it looks like you are referring to txtSearch.Value but I think this should actually be txtSearch.Text if it's an actual text input control.

     

    Try modifying the above code to meet your needs,

    Cheers,

    Sancho

    Hello,

    Yes, I realized mistake in the formula. I am using PowerApps for Teams and hence I think textbox does not have "Text" property.

    I was expecting the "OnChange" event to be fired when the focus is moved out of the text input however  it is getting fired every time a text is added in the textbox. Any thoughts?
