Posted on by kymac17

Hello!

Looking for some assistance with a use case involving an Embedded Powerapp within a PowerBI Dashboard (Dataverse backend)

Trying to have end users select a record on the table below in PowerBI, and when they click one of the buttons below it adds a row to the dataverse table.

I've been trying to use different variations of the script below but haven't made any headway. Any insight / assistance would be appreciated.

Patch(

DataverseTable,

LookUp(DataverseTable, PrimaryKeyField = Selected.PrimaryKeyField)

)

Hi @kymac17 ! Try this..
Patch to update a record:
Patch( DataverseTable, LookUp(DataverseTable, PrimaryKeyField = ThisItem.PrimaryKeyField), {'ParentID': TextLabel.Text} )
Make sure that TextLabel is the correct name of your text label and that TextLabel.Text returns the value you expect.
For New Records:
Patch( MyDataverseTable, Defaults(MyDataverseTable), {'ParentID': TextLabel.Text} )

Hello @VauBee - Thank you for the reply, I found examples similar to those on the forums while doing some research. There isn't a Text Label involved in the process, as the patch is initiated by clicking on a record on the PowerBi table. If I am missing anything let me know

The PowerApps visual in Power BI will always transfer its entire filter context. So having the end user "select" a "record" on the "table" doesn't mean much. You need to force them to pick EXACTLY one entry, and make sure your PowerApps visual has EXACTLY the same filter context as that visual they use for the modification/selection.
