Never thought to use Patch, I set a variable on my input form Item property and call it from the action form custom ID as the default value using the If statement. This works well but Patch seems to be easier and quicker and wouldn't have to use a form. I will give this a try. Love the flexibility of PowerApps! Thanks Darren!
Good question. Lookups and other complex column types are problematic in Power Apps and can cause delegation issues. SharePoint natively was not designed to work with Power Apps. Stick with simple column types (text, numbers, datetime, etc).
Amazing Video, thank you so much .. this was the solution i was looking for. One Additional question , could we edit the Car name entered against an existing customer in the same view ?
Hi Thanks for the great video !! Do you have an idea how I can do it if the customer does not exist yet. So everything in the same patch statment. Or how could you do that?
You can't patch two data sources with the one patch. Just have one patch, get the ID, then patch the many relationship with that ID right after. Separate the patch statements with a semicolon. 👍
You could update the data into an Excel file by bringing it into Power Apps through OneDrive. Here's a video where I work with an Excel table: ua-cam.com/video/5O5XQrHQMec/v-deo.html
Great video! Fantastic information. Thanks for that. Question: When you made the Cars List you made a column CustomerID and made it a "Number". Do you have to specify the number to Force Unique Values? How did a number get added each time you added a persons' choice of car?
Thank your sharing, question: if this two list require a SharePoint web level edit, example in SharePoint list the Cars input a new record, because it is not a lookup column relation, how make it easy to input a customer ID?
What do you mean by "SharePoint web level edit"? Are you talking about if a user goes directly to the SharePoint list? I generally don't allow that. You could create a lookup column if you wanted, but that could create delegation issues in Power Apps.
No, it doesn't have to be unique, unless you go into the field settings and click yes to "Enforce unique values". That's what ID is generally used for. 😊
I struggle the whole 2 days of trying to connect data source because everytime I paste the link it only give me 1 list, your video shows me to copy the root url and I was able to see all the list- thank you. Is CustomerID column a Number or a Lookup? thanks
Hi there, how do you handle permissions for the SharePoint lists themselves? I assume all users who would use the app would have to have edit rights for it to work - I've been asked to build an app for everyone at my company to use but I'd like to make sure people can't find and edit the lists themselves. Is there a way to make a Powerapp execute functions as a service account that has higher permissions and not let everyone using the app able to access the "back end" so to speak?
with ID or Primary key can you make a unique code id eg; name take the first three letters and add a number reference example nam1, nam2 to represent that table
Thanks for the comment. That is true. If I wanted to use a unique key, sometimes I'll use the Title for that, then create other columns for their name. Dataverse has an auto key column type, which is nice. In both places, you could create a calculated column as well. With SharePoint, I typically recommend sticking with the ID column. 👍👍
@@PowerAppsTutorial sorry to be rude in asking! but would you mind demonstrating that please in dataverse ? i was able to once to do it through VBA in MS Access, and found it helpful in identifying tables junctions and map where the info was coming from etc. As I'm having difficulty in getting my head around the concept of power apps, especially when it comes to SQL code using VB that i'm use not lookup functions

how you would do that if you have 3 depth table, Brand, sectors and subsectors. and the relation is 1 table N-N with Brand_id, Sectors_id, and Subsectors_id
In PowerApps, setting up relationships among three tables (Brand, Sectors, and Subsectors) with a many-to-many structure involves using a junction table to handle the relationships. First, create a junction table that includes Brand_id, Sectors_id, and Subsectors_id as its primary fields, each serving as a foreign key to the respective tables. In PowerApps, when you add these tables as data sources, you can utilize the Lookup function to establish connections. For example, in a gallery or form, you can show related data by filtering the junction table based on a selected Brand or Sector. Use the LookUp and Filter functions to display the related Sectors and Subsectors for a selected Brand, creating a nested display where selecting a Brand filters the Sectors, and selecting a Sector further filters the Subsectors.
Sure! I do have this video here where I do just that. There, I have a many to many relationship between Employees and Privileges with a mapping table in the middle. Let me know what you think! ua-cam.com/video/zM0qCQQN9MI/v-deo.html

Great explanation, and why is the customer id column is of datatype number rather than a lookup.

I don't see why you couldn't. When you say "view", do you mean gallery?

SharePoint lists always create a column called "ID" and it acts like an auto incrementing number. Does that answer your question?
@@PowerAppsTutorial Yes it did, thank you very much.

lol... I am just a teacher who is still learning himself! 😋

No, it doesn't have to be unique, unless you go into the field settings and click yes to "Enforce unique values". That's what ID is generally used for. 😊
Good stuff

is it possible to do this using two forms as well ??
Sure, but there is some configuration needed inside the forms to pull it off. 😊👍

Just a number. If you use SharePoint lookup type columns, you may run into delegation issues when trying to query on that field.

Good question! What I do, is that I make all the users of my app "members" of the SharePoint site. It's always worked well for me!
hey I just want to know if you already had data entered into a list how would you go about doing this process

One to many is simple to do can you try many to many in sharepoint?

What about using the lookup columns in SP to reach the same goal ?
@@johnbrennan8442 You'll run into delegation issues if you're writing a query based on that lookup. That's why I stay away from them.
Too true better to keep it simple SP side therefore making it easy for the users Power Apps end and not having the issue of them breaking things
Too fast
