Using Modern Table Control - Selecting Doesn't Work for Some Rows

Posted on by gscott

Hi,

Working with the modern table control in power apps and experiencing some bugs. I have a table of data that I am adding columns too using the add columns function.

It works mostly but when I scroll down on the table to about middle and select a row it no longer selects? Then after I select the "middle" record everything above it no longer selects but everything below it still does. It is such a strange bug that I have no idea how to fix!

[Workaround]

I recently encountered the bug with rows not being selected properly after loading more rows in the table.

As noted by @RomanKlim, the issue persists even with the simplest items, but it's worth noting that the collection has more than 25 records. If you select only the 'List only' Reflow behavior, the bug does not occur. This seems to be because the list view is paginated, and only 25 records are visible at a time.

To address this, I created pagination. In the Items property of the table, I used the formula provided at the end of this post. I also created controls to manipulate the lclPaginationIndex variable. You can follow Reza Dorrani's guidelines (the approach is the same as for galleries) in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKsNOsGj72A

The solution is currently in the DEV stage, so I will update this thread after thorough testing.

LastN(FirstN(<dataSource>,lclPaginationIndex*25),25)

Hello Microsoft,

Please fix this issue!
Adding the Option to reset the table should help?

There need to be a way of deselecting items from the table else the navigate is performed every time

The bug still exist in 2025.

I confirmed the table have same bug behaviour on item selection. The table is working as expected if Reflow behaviour = List Only. It doesn't work for "Reflow" or "Grid Only"

Can someone verify my findings. When I removed all search, filter, and sort functions from the Table's Items and simply listed the data source, filtering using the tables functions worked. I was also able to scroll down the list and select a record, both before and after filtering.

UPDATE:
The following code worked in Items:
Sort('LCR Log', Date, SortOrder.Descending)
-or-
'LCR Log'

Using a search modifier didnt:
SortByColumns(Search('LCR Log', TextInputCanvas1.Value, Cartons, Cases),"Date",SortOrder.Descending)

Still no fix as of 2024/12/18.
This Table bug when Reflow behavior is set to Reflow or Grid only is causing issues in two of my tables.

First when trying to scroll, then selecting a row: The Item property MyTable.Selected is empty
Second when trying to scroll then doing a search (filter) on a table: The table shows all elements as if no filter was applied but the number of rows (filtered) is correct.

This problem isn't anymore when using Reflow behavior as List only but that is not what I want in my app.

Why is this not fixed ?

I am experienced the same issue. The table control's onselect event only works with the rows which were shown when loading. After scrolling those rows out of the view and new rows were shown, the onselect event wasn't triggered when I selected these rows.

Still experiencing the bug as of today. I'm glad to at least read a temporary solution to change the table layout to list.

I have experienced the same thing today. The comment to change the Reflow Behaviour to List Only works - but that list is not suitable to work with as its ugly compared to the other formats.
I too get nothing in the Monitor when the onSelect isnt firing. I have also noted that some records in the grid work, at random, and others dont.

How has this not been resolved yet? This isnt the first 'modern control' to share such buggy issues. Quite frankly, they need sorting ASAP. If they arent going to make these modern controls more flexible in the way of design elements (like the old) then at least get the functionality they do have working right. Unacceptable.

The OnSelect event won't even fire for me. It worked some yesterday. Not at all today.
