Email sent by Flow is stacking two columns of an html table into one

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10
I can't figure out why my flow is stacking two columns worth of information into one column in an html table included in an email sent by the flow.  The data comes from the columns in a Sharepoint List. The flow sends an email every week and lists all of the subscriptions where the Renewal Date is within 90 days and the Status is Active.  I have four columns of information setup in the Create HTML table action custom columns. 
 
The flow is pulling the right data but as you can see here, the Client column and Subscription column are stacked.  It doesn't matter if I have three columns or five, the first two columns are always stacked. 
 
I think it's an html table formatting issue, but I've tried everything else too. What could be causing this issue?  I've attached the parameters for the actions below.

    Is your Client column a lookup field (like a Person or Lookup column) instead of a plain text/string? 

    When Power Automate tries to create an HTML table and one of the values is an object (like a lookup), it sometimes doesn't render properly. Often resulting in empty or invalid HTML cells. That causes the first column to collapse to a very narrow width, making the header appear stacked vertically and the next values appear to shift left.

    Thank you for the information about the client column and using a lookup field.  As I want to keep the lookup column, I will find another power automate solution to meet our needs.
