completing dataset without adding new record

[Farzad]

I would appreciate it if you help me.
I have a dataset with many columns including a barcode id (a code) on SharePoint, and 3 more columns are empty that need to be filled through Powerapps. I want to scan materials via PowerApps and complete the dataset on SharePoint based on the barcode.
It needs to match the barcode (SharePoint and PowerApps) and then submitform or record 3 variables.  I do not want to have new rows.

the below code does not work.

Set(varScan; LookUp(Material_Inventory1; HRSG1=Label1.Text);
Patch(Material_Inventory1; Defaults(Material_Inventory1); { Status:Status_DataCard1; QTY: QTY_DataCard1; Location:Location_DataCard1 })

Hi @Farzad ,

I assume here varScan is the relevant record to be updated

With(
   {
      wScanID; 
      LookUp(
         Material_Inventory1; 
         HRSG1=Label1.Text
      ).ID
   };
   Patch(
      Material_Inventory1; 
      {ID: wScanID};
      { 
         Status: Status_DataCard1.Text; 
         QTY: QTY_DataCard1.Text; 
         Location: Location_DataCard1.Text 
      }
   )
)

It does not work.

The SharePoint table is like below where HRSG1=barcode. 
I Have a form in PowerApps Including HRSG1(scan code), Status, QTY and Location.

Finally, it works. After removing the Form and making separate text and Items. 
and I modified your code a little bit.
Thanks a lot.

With(
      {wScanID: 
      LookUp(
         Material_Inventory1; 
         HRSG1=Label1.Text
      ).ID};
      Patch(
         Material_Inventory1; 
         {ID: wScanID};
         { 
            QTY:Value(TextInput1.Text);
         Status: {Value:Dropdown2.Selected.Value}; 
            Location:{Value:Dropdown2_1.Selected.Value}
         }
      )
   )

How can I upload some photos as an attachment for each row through the same code ?

With(
      {wScanID: 
      LookUp(
         Material_Inventory1; 
         HRSG1=Label1.Text
      ).ID};
      Patch(
         Material_Inventory1; 
         {ID: wScanID};
         { 
            QTY:Value(TextInput1.Text);
            Status: {Value:Dropdown2.Selected.Value}; 
            Location:{Value:Dropdown2_1.Selected.Value};
            Pic:{Attachment:DataCardValue18_1.Value}
         }
      )
   )

Pic is a new column in dataset. I made a DataCardValue (not in a form).

I tried the above but it does not work.

Hi @Farzad ,

You cannot unfortunately - the only way (other than Power Automate) to upload attachments is using an Attachment control in a Form with either SubmitForm() or Patch(FormName.Updates)

[Farzad]

Hi @WarrenBelz 

Thank you for your prompt response. How can I do that with SubmitForm()? or How can I add photos to a pre-made database/list (Adding photo in a new column) in Sharepoint through 

With(
      {wScanID: 
      LookUp(...

?

Hi @Farzad ,

As I noted, you cannot - if you have a Form with an attachment control and attachments uploaded to it, you can submit it and the attachments will be added to the record - the Patch of FormName.Updates does the same thing. The code I posted was for a completely different process as per your original request. There may be a Power Automate path with Add Attachment, but then you need to get the file from somewhere already saved/uploaded.
