Adjust column size in modern tools table power apps

(2) Share

Report

Posted on by starbharu

I have many columns in a table that is being used in order to create a power app. When I import the modern tools table format, all the fields gets shrinked. It is extra work to adjust each column size and when I exit the app and get back in, it turns into shrinked again. Attached is the screenshot. Is there a place to adjust the size of the column at one time?

Hi @starbharu

I unfortunately dont use that control, but have you tried to CTRL (hold) Click each column, so that you can change the width at one time? I know it works on the other controls and data table. MIght work there.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

Hi @FLMike ,

Unfortunately, it did not work. I tried that already. I have 64 fields. It is quite difficult to do the same thing for 64 fields. It goes back to the shrink mode once I exit out of the application.

Silly Question but under properties or under the Advanced Tab of properties is there an autosize?

Also try this

Create a Variable in App OnStart or Screen Visible

Set(MyWidth, 250);

Now Select all the columns and put the variable there not a value

@FLMike ,
I do not see a property for autosize, but there is a property as "Reflow behaviour". I am new to Power apps so learning as I go.

It is likely that since this control is still in Preview...many of those settings are hopefully upcoming. If anyone does find out how to set these properties, please advise, as this is also needed for my user base.

If you set your table inside a horizontal gallery and set you width outside the gallery and enable scroll in that gallery you can side scroll

Hi @starbharu
You can do this by selecting all the columns in the left pane and give the value to width property.

Hello,
I had this same issue on a table similar to yours. Here is what i did.

On the AppTree, GoTo your table.
Select the Table then, pick the Columns and on the right property, change the width to your desired figure and save your changes. This worked for me.
