Formatting table columns from Create HTML Table action

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 24

Hello,

 

I created a table from the Create HTML Table action and wanted to conditionally format the cells (background color, text color, and font weight) by whether or not the 2nd column is true/false. Does anyone know how I would replace those row values?

    This is not possible with the Create HTML table action. If you want to do this, it will be a lot trickier. You'll need to:

    1. Initialize a string variable named rows (or whatever you prefer).
    2. Use an Apply to each to generate each row for the table.
    3. You'll need to add a condition to check the current item for the background color you want to use (I assume the True/False value).
    4. Then on each side of the condition, use an Append to string variable to create the HTML row with the styling you want. For example:  <tr style="background-color: green;"><td>May 28, 2024</td><td>True</td></tr>
    5. If you are using the output to send in an e-mail, you will need to put your e-mail action into HTML mode and enter the <table> and </table> tags and put the output of your variable in between: <table><variable></table>
