Check if records exist for multi update

[TB05]

Hi, 

I am updating a SP list for multiple users.  This part works, multiple users are updated at once.  But I want to check the SP list for the selected users and date to confirm if record exist and only update those where the record does not exist and display a message stating that the Record for "user" already exist for that "date"! 

Thanks,

TB05

Hey! For Update you need to use:

Patch( DataSource, LookUp(DataSource, ID = ThisItem.ID), {...})

To create a new one you can use that

So, in your case you need to do this:

ForAll(...,

If(IsEmpty(..))

UPDATE,

CREATE NEW

)

I am not writting all code but I think you understood

Thank you for your quick response.  I'm obviously missing something...as I do have For All...and And IF....but it doesn't work.

ForAll(
Filter(
GallerySelEmp_2.AllItems,
Checkbox2_7.Value
),
If(
IsEmpty(
LookUp(
BonusInput,
Date = DataCardValue12_2.SelectedDate && GallerySelEmp_2.Selected.ID = TimeID
)
),
Patch(
BonusInput,
Defaults(BonusInput),
{
Date: DataCardValue12_2.SelectedDate,
Comments: txtComments.Text,
Title: Employee.DisplayName,
JobID: varJobID.Title,
DailyBonus: Switch(
Dropdown2.Selected.Value,
"Bonus1",
Sum(
Value(JobCode_x003a_DayRate.Value),
Value(JobCode_x003a_MSKBonus.Value),
Value(JobCode_x003a_Tier1.Value)
),
"Bonus2",
Sum(
Value(JobCode_x003a_MSKBonus.Value),
Value(JobCode_x003a_Tier2.Value)
),
"Bonus3",
Sum(
Value(JobCode_x003a_DayRate.Value),
Value(JobCode_x003a_Tier3.Value)
),
"Heliport",

"Boat",
Value(JobCode_x003a_DayRate.Value),
"Standby",
Value(JobCode_x003a_DayRate.Value)
),
TimeID: ID,
PayPeriodID: Value(varPayPeriodSelected.ID),
Stat: Checkbox2_4.Value,
StatValue: If(
Checkbox2_4.Value = true,
Value(JobCode_x003a_DayRate.Value)
),
PayPeriodStartDate: varPayPeriodSelected.StartDate,
PayPeriodEndDate: varPayPeriodSelected.EndDate,

GIN: Value(Title)
}

)
);

@Nogueira1306 , I had an issue with parenthesis.  Thanks for your suggestion, it helped me locate my error. 

The first part of my code, will update  multiple records to the  SP list if the record does not exist.  But let's say I select multiple Items to update and only one of them already has a record in the list.  So right now, no records will update.  Is there a way so that only the record that exist does not get added?

Hi @TB05 ,

Firstly, you seem to have an extra closing bracket - If you use Format Text, it will parse it like the below if it is correct. Also, this structure should get you what you need.

ForAll(
   Filter(
      GallerySelEmp_2.AllItems,
      Checkbox2_7.Value
   ),
   Patch(
      BonusInput,
      With(
         {
            wID:
            LookUp(
               BonusInput, 
               Date=DataCardValuel2_2.SelectedDate && 
               ID=TimeID
            ).ID
         },
         If(
            !Blank(wID),
            {ID:wID},
            Defaults(BonusInput),
         },
         {
            Date: DataCardValue12_2.SelectedDate,
            Comments: txtComments.Text,
            Title: Employee.DisplayName,
