Allowing a user to copy and paste the displayed items in a table

Posted on by BKayMDOT

I have a few tables inserted in a power app that display data based on a combobox selection. I would like a user to be able to copy and paste the information that is displayed in the table, which looks like this:

Basically, would like the user to be able to copy and paste this into a excel doc, word doc, email, etc. and have it paste as a single table column. I assume that I can use the Copy() function in the OnSelect property of a button to do this.

Any guidance is much appreciated!

Hi @BKayMDOT,

I will throw in a low-tech option that highlighting (left-click hold and drag to select) then Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V works well.

I found that this does not work on tables in the power app, which is what led me down the rabbit hole of creating a copy button. I haven't tried it on galleries though. Perhaps it would work there.

Hi @BKayMDOT,

Yes it works fine on most text-based controls including ones in galleries.
