Hie , I have a handover form in powerapps where other team members enter information and is shared to every one. Many times we require to share an excel table too along with data but powerapps is not able to include the cell borders while copy pasting. Can someone help me how to do so.

For example if this is the data I have and I copy it manually, it should appear like below in powerapps text box.

    Hi @MuskanMishra27 ,

     

    What you want is not possible without out-of-the box controls.

     

    You may want to look into connecting your app directly to the Excel file (or preferably move the contents to a better data source such as Dataverse or SharePoint list) and retrieve the data automatically. This will also allow you to perform formatting in HTML with which you can build tables with borders.

    The only native component that I can think of is Rich Text Editor, and to include the boders you can add a HTML text to add the necessary CSS to include the boders, like this:
    My text:

    Rich Text to get the copied text and the HTML text to add the boders:

    the code that I used in the HTML text:

    Substitute(
     Substitute(
     Substitute(
     RichTextEditor2.HtmlText, "<table", "<table style='border: 1px solid; border-collapse: collapse'; "
     ),
     "<td>", "<td style='border: 1px solid'>"
     ),
     "<th>", "<th style='border: 1px solid'>"
    )

    It is not a beautiful solution but I think you can achieve what you want using this.

     

    I hope it helps 🙂
