IF Statement error checking issue

[TB05]

Hi,  I'm having an issue when editing a record.  Each time I edit a record, I check to confirm if the Date already exists in the SharePoint list and if the Date is outside the defined Pay Period dates.  IF the Date exist, I want to receive a popup that indicates Date exist - which it does.  But on confirmation of the popup, I always get a second popup, confirming Date exist.   And if the new date selected is outside the pay period, I get a popup stating that message.  And then I also get another popup stating the Date exist???  Here is my code, hope someone can help me sort this logic.  Also on the quit of the confirmation popup screens, I am clearing all data.

If(!IsBlank(LookUp(BonusInput, varEditEmployeeBonusSelected.TimeID = TimeID And DataCardValue11.SelectedDate=Date,ID)),UpdateContext({varEditConfirmDateExist:true}), DataCardValue11.SelectedDate < varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownStartDate || DataCardValue11.SelectedDate > varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate, UpdateContext({varEditShowPopUpConfirmSelectedDate:true}),UpdateContext({varEditConfirmDateExist:false});)

Hi @TB05 ,

There are several syntax mistakes in your code:

If(
!IsBlank(
LookUp(
BonusInput,
varEditEmployeeBonusSelected.TimeID = TimeID
And DataCardValue11.SelectedDate=Date,ID
)
),
UpdateContext({varEditConfirmDateExist:true}),

[Should have the 'false' statement, but instead another condition is provided]
DataCardValue11.SelectedDate < varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownStartDate
|| DataCardValue11.SelectedDate > varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate,
UpdateContext(
{varEditShowPopUpConfirmSelectedDate:true}
),
UpdateContext(
{varEditConfirmDateExist:false}
);
)

Please try with the below which is correct from syntax perspective:

If(
	!IsBlank(
		LookUp(
			BonusInput,
			varEditEmployeeBonusSelected.TimeID = TimeID 
			And DataCardValue11.SelectedDate=Date
		)
	),
	UpdateContext(
		{varEditConfirmDateExist:true}
	),
	If(
		DataCardValue11.SelectedDate < varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownStartDate 
		|| DataCardValue11.SelectedDate > varPayPeriodSelectedDropdownEndDate,
		UpdateContext(
			{varEditShowPopUpConfirmSelectedDate:true}
		),
		UpdateContext(
			{varEditConfirmDateExist:false}
		)
	)
)
