Patch Not writing to Excel on OneDrive

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have an Excel sheet on OneDrive that I wish to write some data to. I know this isn't the preferred method for PowerApps but I just need to show how this would work then I plan on getting the Ok to move to Azure SQL for the back end.

However, when I try to write the Batch_Number I get nothing and I am wondering if I must write data for every column in the table. Right now I have this for the buttons OnSelect property:

Patch(Green_Data, Default(Green_Data), {Batch_Number: greenBatchLoadingBatchNumber.Text})

greenBatchLoadingBatch_Number is also a label that gets its value from a previous screen. Should I change that to a textInput and disable it?

In Green_Data there are 20 columns(including the PowerApps Id column). Does there need to be info for each column for it to write or what am I doing wrong.

Thanks

I am not sure if this is just a typo but Default(Green_Data) should be Defaults(Green_Data). You don't need to update each field with the Patch, only the required fields.

Hey Jeff,

Yea that was a typo on my end in that code block.

I figured out what it was.
When I created the Green_Data table in my excel sheet I had the Table size preset for 10000 rows (or records), all blank. So my patch function was working, it was writing the Batch_Number on row 10001, outside of my defined table. I figured this out by selecting that column and seeing Count: 12 in the bottom. I thought how could there be 12 if nothing is showing up in A2. So I scrolled all the way down and sure enough my 12 button clicks were all right there. Now I need to fix all my other tables that I plan to write too.

Thanks for the quick repsonse,
Ryan
