Adjust column size in modern tools table power apps

Posted on 8 Feb 2024 12:55:44 by 10

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?

    I might be a bit too late but for anyone else with the same issue.  opegm11 solution is correct but will be effective if you turn off the Can grow option.  also to select a column you need to select the table at design time and choose fields from the little menu that appears on top you will get a list of all fields choose select control from the (...) menu or ellipsis as usually known as.  Hope that helps

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    @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.

    @starbharu 

     

    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

     


    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
