Hi everyone,

I'm working on a Power Automate flow where I need to format text for a Word document. Specifically, I want to replace each comma (,) in the text with a line break, so that each comma is converted into a new paragraph when the text is inserted into Word.

I've tried using various methods to insert line breaks, such as \n, char(10), and HTML <br> tags, but none of these seem to be working as expected. The \n is displayed as text instead of creating a new line, and the other methods do not seem to have the desired effect.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to achieve this in Power Automate? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Please try this expression, because Power Apps doesn't care lol about Char and \n etc so you use the following to get what you want.

replace(yourstring,',',decodeUriComponent('%0A'))
