Hi @Jagen007

Based on my video https://youtu.be/pwJ73jFEtDQ you would want to get the distinct dates using select and then union. This will give you three dates. Then in an apply to each, with the union as input, filter the original data based on the current item. Then create the html table on the filtered data. Finally add a compose inside the apply to each and add the current item (date), followed by a <br> and the output of the html table. Outside of the apply to each, you can join the tables created by creating an array with outputs('nameofcompose') and joining with some more <br> tags.

The flow would look like:

I put your table into a json array, which is the same as get rows/items etc:
[
{
"Vendor": "HP",
"Country": "TH",
"Date": "8/23/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Nebraska",
"Country": "TH",
"Date": "8/23/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Employment Security",
"Country": "VN",
"Date": "8/23/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "HP",
"Country": "LA",
"Date": "8/23/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "HP",
"Country": "TW",
"Date": "8/23/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Oklahoma",
"Country": "SG",
"Date": "8/23/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Employment Security",
"Country": "TH",
"Date": "8/24/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "HP",
"Country": "TH",
"Date": "8/24/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Minnesota",
"Country": "SG",
"Date": "8/24/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "HP",
"Country": "SG",
"Date": "8/24/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Illinois",
"Country": "SA",
"Date": "8/24/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Workforce",
"Country": "SA",
"Date": "8/25/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "HP",
"Country": "SA",
"Date": "8/25/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Workforce",
"Country": "SA",
"Date": "8/25/2023"
},
{
"Vendor": "Illinois",
"Country": "KH",
"Date": "8/25/2023"
}
]

Select and compose:

The apply to each takes the compose as input:

The HTML table is based on the filter array and the compose table is the current item, <br> and the output from the create html table.

The compose all tables - outside of the apply to each is as follows:

Here is the output:
Hope that helps and don't forget to marked as solved 😉

If I would not like to convert into a JSON since it is extracting it from an excel file. I would like to remain using ur method. In my apply to each compose step, what should be the code?

This is my existing flow:

Hi @Jagen007

In my example I used a compose with a json array, instead of list rows. Both return an array. It looks like you’ve built the flow correctly and are creating a table per date but you are missing a compose in the apply to each for the html table and date header and then another compose outside of the apply to each. I have the screenshots in the original post.

I note you’ve posted another post? Have your requirements changed?
