Leave Request Template with sharepoint list

I just create the 2 sharepoint lists.

one for collecting all the leave requests ad one for the leave balance like this.

But I have a problem that, It works only for one user.

I mean on my Leave request app, I want the users to see how many leave balances each type that they have left. like this.

but I don't know how to make it works for all users.

Example

User A

sick leave balance (maximum) = 10, Annual leave balance (maximum) = 20
already request the annual leave 4 days ->> current annual leave balance = 20 - 4 =16

User B

sick leave balance (maximum) = 10, Annual leave balance (maximum) = 20
already request the sick leave 1days ->> current sick leave balance = 10-1 = 9

I don't know how can I make the sharepoint know that the current annual leave btw User A & User B is different , also how can I update the data for showing on the Power apps.

Hi @mmchx ,

You need the user's email in the List and then compare this with the built-in function User().Email

So I need to create the user's email column on the ListTypeofLeave and another column to store the leave days that user requests right?
I'm sorry that I don't get how can I compare with the built-in function User().Email.
since power apps don't store anything

@mmchx ,

I am assuming ListTypeofLeave is a List? If you had a field called UserMail storing the User's email and another field called LeaveDays, you would get the value of that field in the current user's record with

LookUp( ListTypeofLeave, UserMail=User().Email ).LeaveDays

Yes, ListTypeofLeave is a List. I see appreciate it!
like this right? then if I want to the number of the current balance, I just calculate in power apps and update the value via power automate.

Hi @mmchx ,

In your case, you have the user's name (the field would be better called NameUser), but disregarding this

LookUp( typeofleave, UserMail=User().FullName ).Current_AnnualLeave

would get the current annual leave.

arr, I have a problem with the lookup
based on your code, I set OnStart
set(currentUser,User().mail)
the power apps stored the user's mail correctly without error.
but when I applied to the Label like this
LookUp( typeofleave, NameUser= CurrentUser ).Current_AnnualLeave
It has the error on the equal sign "Incompatible types for comparison. These types can't be compared: Record, Text."
Even I change the currentUser to Office365Users.MyProfileV2().mail
