Garbled characters can occur when there is a mismatch in character encoding or when special characters are not rendered correctly. To address this issue, consider the following suggestions:
1. Check Character Encoding: Ensure that the character encoding used in both Table 1 and Table 2 is consistent. Common character encodings include UTF-8 and UTF-16. Confirm that the encoding in both tables matches, especially when transferring data between them.
2. Verify Data Source Configurations: Double-check the configurations and settings of both Table 1 and Table 2 data sources. Ensure that the data sources are correctly defined with the appropriate character encoding specified. Also, check if any transformations or data manipulations are occurring during the transfer between tables that may be affecting the data.
3. Text Formatting in Data Table: In the data table of your canvas app, ensure that the appropriate formatting settings are applied to the columns that display the data. You can adjust the formatting of the specific column to ensure that the correct character encoding is used.
4. Encoding Functions in Power Apps: Power Apps provides functions to handle encoding and decoding operations. You can try using the `TextEncode` and `TextDecode` functions to encode and decode the data before displaying it in the data table. These functions can help ensure that special characters are properly encoded and decoded.
5. Data Validation: Validate the data in Table 1 to ensure that it does not contain any corrupted or improperly encoded characters. Run checks on the data integrity to identify and resolve any issues with garbled characters.
6. Test with Sample Data: Create a sample dataset with a few records in Table 1 and Table 2 that reproduce the issue. This can help isolate the problem and allow you to experiment with different encoding settings and functions to identify the appropriate solution.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with garbled characters appearing in your data table. If the problem persists or you need further assistance, please provide more details about the specific steps you're taking and any code or configurations you've implemented so far.
