Move columns(fields rather than data) from one Table to another

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

In Power Apps we would like to condense entities, so would like to move columns (and there are many,) from one table to another.  Is this possible? For example: Move Field A & B from Table 1 to Table 2.

Table 1

Field A

Field B

Table 2

Field C

Field D

Any advice would be much appreciated

Many thanks

    You can Add Columns from Table 1 to Table 2 using the AddCoulmns function, would this work?

    How is the data configured in the back end? Do you use Premium SQL table connector, Dataverse or something else? It might be  better option to move the data from its source to what you need the configuration to be, but i'd need some more information?

    @Xch21  Thanks

    Hi JasonLane

    Thank you for you quick reply.  We use Dataverse tables

    Hi

    Thanks for your help.  We can add each row again in Table 2 by Adding a column function but as we have over 70 columns we were hoping this could be done in a less time consuming way than creating each column again individually. Is there way to do this do you know?  Thank you

    @Xch21 There might be a way using PowerAutomate - Its really down to the structure of the tables but perhaps this article can set you on the way - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/dataverse/create . Sorry i cannot be much more help - I get what you are trying to do but its pretty niche

    @JasonLane This is not a solution.

    @Xch21I am trying to understand the issue. Why have you got 2 tables? Are you trying to combine these two tables so you only need to load one into Power Apps?

    Yes we would like to combine them by moving the fields not already in Table1 to Table 2 if possible? Once all moved over we would like to remove Table 2
    Thank you for your time!

    My question is why have you got the two tables in the first place?
