    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Please see attached basic app and associated excel file which demonstrates how to achieve this across two different screens - Screen 1 is with a form control with the 'SubmitForm' function and the other screen uses manually created TextInput controls and the 'Patch' function, which patches a new record (using the 'Defaults(...)'function) and then writes each value from the text inputs to the corresponding excel fields.

     

    To try this out just save the excel to your onedrive, open the attached app in Powerapps (and save it to your cloud), then go to 'Add data' in Power apps, go to 'OneDriveforBusiness' and then find/select the table called 'ExcelTableTest'.

     

    Let me know if you have any queries

     

    Good Luck ☘
