Number format in HTML table to send in email

Hi everybody,

I create a flow that gets data from D365 Finance and Operations and send emails to managers.

Here is an email example:

As you can see I send the Net amount could be easier to read if I format it as maybe: 218 174 €.

I saw and read the format options here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings#code-try-2

I can use, for example:

formatNumber(variables('myFloat), 'N', 'en-US')

The main issue is that the data I want to format (the line net amount) can't be added in the formatNumber function... but only the body or value of the PO lines details (from Finance and Operations).

I can customise the columns of the table as wanted, with the net amount... but without formatting it 😞

Here is the email action, where I can only put the Outputs of my action 'Create HTML Table':

Can anyone give me tips on how I can handle this format number?

Thanks,

Hi @Frog64,

You could use the expression item()?['columnName'] to get a specified column value of current item, for example:

item()?['Net_Amount']

Then if you want to convert the number to a monetary unit of the euro, the format specifier should be "C" or "c", and the symbol should be fr-FR:

formatNumber(item()?['Net_Amount'], 'C', 'fr-FR')

Result:

I am still fairly new to power automate and learning daily. I am not sure how to apply this solution to my flow. I really need to get rid of these trailing zeros. Does the number of decimal places for the calculated columns in my list matter? If not, how do I apply your solution to my flow. Thanks in advance!
