Create a word document with multiple entries

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by pricey79 340

Hello , I was hoping someone could help me please

 

I have a SharePoint list with about 8 columns , that will get populated through a PowerApp.

I would like to be able to automate putting these into a Word document, currently they are cut and pasted.

I've seen you can populate a Word Template, but I need my items to be in columns, and it looks like the text control used just overwrites the column header. Below is an example of what I would like it to look like , with the column headers being the questions asked in the app.

The App will be filled out during the week by numerous people and I'll need a fresh Word Document at the end of every Friday? Is that possible please?

 

Thank you for any help

    Sure, 

    you can create a template document (note to save it in a shared location as a docx file). That document serves as your template and contains a table with repeating section.

    Then, add a weekly Power Automate flow that collects last week's items (created date is greater than today - 7 days).

    a very good example can be found here:

    https://www.matthewdevaney.com/power-automate-create-word-document-with-a-repeating-section/#:~:text=Insert%20A%20Repeating%20Section%20To%20The%20Word%20Document%20Template,-The%20second%20row&text=Highlight%20the%20entire%20row%20and,finished%20setting%20up%20the%20template.

    Hope this helps.
