Control Formula Record For Free

The Patch function allows you to update or create a new record in your data source. The Patch function requires you to identify your data source, decide if you want to update or create a record, and then point to your controls on the app that contains the data you are submitting.

In a canvas app, add and configure a Display form control to show all fields in a record. You can also add and configure an Edit form control to edit any field in a record, add a record, and save your changes back to a data source.

A record contains one or more categories of information about a person, a place, or a thing. For example, a record might contain the name, the email address, and the phone number of a single customer. Other tools refer to a record as a "row" or an "item."

The IsEmpty function tests whether a table contains any records. It's equivalent to using the CountRows function and checking for zero. You can check for data-source errors by combining IsEmpty with the Errors function. The return value for IsEmpty is a Boolean true or false.

PowerApps provides the [@ident] syntax for two kinds of identifier disambiguation. In the example above, [@slider1] refers to the global slider1 control, whereas slider1 refers to the hypothetical column name 'slider1' within MyTable.

New indicates it is ready to build a new record. If you are trying to ascertain if a record exists already, a good condition to use is a Filter() or LookUp() to try to search for the existence of the record. If no record is found, make sure your form is in FormMode. New and submit it.

Description. The With function evaluates a formula for a single record. The formula can calculate a value and/or perform actions, such as modifying data or working with a connection.
