Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I am trying to add an if statement inside lookup. I want it so that "onSelect" if approved equals no change to yes; and if approved equals yes change to no.

Patch(Expense, (LookUp(Expense, Approved="No")), ({Approved:"Yes"}));

Hi @Anonymous

Can you please share more details about the configuration of the app? I want to understand the controls used.

If you are looking to update all records where the value is Approved, then you need to use the UpdateIf function:

UpdateIf(Expense, Approved="No", {Approved:"Yes"});

UpdateIf(Expense, Approved="Yes", {Approved:"No"});

If you are just looking for one item, then use the below expressions:

Patch(Expense, LookUp(Expense, ColumnToMatch="ValuetoMatch"), {Approved: If(LookUp(Expense, ColumnToMatch="ValuetoMatch").Approved = "Yes","No","Yes")})

Hope this Helps!

What datasource are you using?

If the Approved Column is a simple text column;

UpdateIf(Expense,
    Approved=”Yes”,{Approved: “No”},
   Approved =”No”, { Approved: “Yes”})

However if its a YesNo Column:

UpdateIf(Expense,

    Approved =true, { Approved: 0},

   Approved =false,{Approved: 1})

Hi
Thanks for replying. The app is an expense app when you click on the "Approved" or "Not approved" button for an expense it will change to the opposite e.g. you click on "Approved" it will change to "Not approved".

In that case, you can set the expression to:

UpdateIf(Expense, ID = GalleryName.Selected.ID, {Approved: If(Gallery.Selected.Approved = "Yes","No","Yes")})

OR

UpdateIf(Expense, ID = ThisItem.ID, {Approved: If(ThisItem.Approved = "Yes","No","Yes")})

Hope this Helps!

All tables in a database should have a Unique ID column that is never changed once it is assigned and is not reused. It can be a whole number (preferred) or a string and it is called the Primary Key of the table. The PowerAppsID column is for internal use only and can is not exposed within PowerApps so the answer to your question would be no. For more information about database keys and why we use them see my blog post here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/News-Announcements/Relational-Database-Principles-and-PowerApps-Step-3-Keys-and/ba-p/188640
