script:

function onSubmit() {

    if (g_scratchpad.isFormValid)

return true;

    var cat_id = gel('sysparm_item_guid').value;

    var gr = new GlideRecord("sys_attachment");

    gr.addQuery("table_name", "sys_data_source");

    gr.addQuery("table_sys_id", cat_id);

    gr.query();

    if (!gr.next()) {

        g_form.addErrorMessage("You must attach a Excel file to submit.");

        return false;

    } else {

        // check the lines of the uploaded Excel

        // check the script include

var ga = new GlideAjax('check_Excel_Row_count');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'getRowCount');

        ga.addParam('sysparm_xlssysid', gr.sys_id);

// ga.getXMLWait();

//ga.getXMLAnswer(getAnswer);

        answer = ga.getAnswer(); //getAnswer() retrieves the result for you

        if (answer) {

            var returneddata = JSON.parse(answer);

            g_form.setValue("qty", returneddata.counter);

            g_form.setValue("guidcheck", returneddata.guidCheck);

            g_form.setValue("hasGUID", returneddata.hasGUID);

            g_form.setValue("hasIMEI", returneddata.hasIMEI);

            g_form.setValue("imeicheck", returneddata.imeiCheck);

            var model_category = g_form.getValue("model_category");

            var hasGUID = g_form.getValue("hasGUID");

            var hasIMEI = g_form.getValue("hasIMEI");

            if ((model_category != "1233" && hasIMEI == "true")) {

                g_form.addErrorMessage("xyz");

                return false;

            }

            //Personal computer

            if ((model_category != "157575a" && hasGUID == "true")) {

                g_form.addErrorMessage("xyz");

                return false;

            }

            //Personal computer

            if ((model_category == "94ca" && hasGUID != "true")) {

                g_form.addErrorMessage("xyz");

                return false;

            }

            popupWait();

        }

}

function popupWait() {

    var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('showLoadingDialogUI');

    gdw.setTitle('Please wait until the ' + g_form.getValue("qty") + ' lines in the excel are validated');

    gdw.removeCloseDecoration();

return false;

}

var actionName = g_form.getActionName();

        g_scratchpad.isFormValid = true;

        g_form.submit(actionName);

}

Thanks Abhijeet for response, So no need to call further call to set true for following?

var actionName = g_form.getActionName();
g_scratchpad.isFormValid = true;
g_form.submit(actionName);

Hello @priceless that will depend on your requirement If the form should be submitted automatically after the validation and data retrieval steps, then the g_form.submit(actionName) would be necessary.

If my response helps you resolve your issue. Kindly mark it as helpful & correct. It will be helpful to future readers! 

Thanks and Regards,
