Show/Hide empty values in HTML Table Conditionally

Posted on by illmatic_one

I have a requirement to generate a document from an intake form using PowerApps which is connected to the Dataverse. I am able to do this, however, they added the request to only show fields that have a value. Initially I was going to use a Word Template but I do not think it's possible to conditionally show fields if they are blank in MS Word.

Instead, I will be using an HTML table. Is it possible to dynamically check if a field is blank for each column in the record, and hide or show that field in the HTML table with an apply to each action? The form is super duper long, so I am really dreading having to compose an action for each of the conditional fields.

If the form is too long, adding an HTML table is not a good idea.
Can you not build a PowerApps screen with a Data table and provide a link to the screen in your flow notification?

No. The user wants a document which has a cable that is emailed to the user as they need to copy these answers. Additionally, the form is over eight pages with each page representing a form section. They are routed to specific sections based on answers in other sections, and throughout the sections there are some fields that are skipped over/hidden as well.

Also, this is a form of questions, not necessarily simple data. They are long-winded questions with long-winded answers and all of the above needs to be captured so I can't really do a data table. It will be a table of two columns with table headers for each section [and even this isn't in the actual format that they want. They prefer row based versus column based display].

I could possibly get away with a form screen, but as far as I know, PowerApps does not have any function that checks if the entire Form is empty. Instead, it checks if specific fields are blank and even when you use this feature you have to have turned on the 'Required' property. [Some forms are skipped entirely based on previous choices in a different section].

So, is it possible to show/hide fields conditionally in an HTML table?
