Custom columns for Create HTML Table not working

(2) Share

Report

Posted on by tfmeier

I have a flow that determines changes to records and then creates an email incl. a HTML table showing the changed records.

The step before Create HTML table is a data operation and determines the changed records.

In Create HTML table when columns is set to Automatic the email shows all columns as expected.

However I want to include a subset of columns which is when I select columns=custom. Understand I can specify the header in field header. Trouble is I can't add any spaces here (e.g. I need 'Ordered By' but can only enter 'OrderedBy'). Likewise for the value. Understand I need to enter item()['Ordered By'] but can only enter item()['OrderedBy'] which of course is not found.

How do I solve this?

Hi

What you can do, is use the Select Action, after your Column Range check step and above the HTML Table.

You can then select out the Columns you want. After that is done, you will either, need to add the headers back into that output

or put the headers above the table, and there are a couple other ways

But to get a subset of the columns, please use the Select action.

I don't get it.
Why shouldn't that work?

@item()['Owner Email']

item()['Primary Email']

My issue was that I didn't compose the value via the expression tab but instead tried to manually enter this in the value field... silly, I know but everyone starts somewhere :)

Thanks for the responses
