Hello @Ashok2 ,

the standard Multiple lines of text field on document library doesn't support rich text formatting, it uses plain text. To display the HTML table as a table you must use SharePoint designer: open the document library in SharePoint designer, go to the library settings, and switch the Multiple lines of text column to support rich text format.

What is the Column setting on document library column? Is it Enhanced Rich Text OR Plain text? If its Plain text, convert it to Enhanced Rich Text.

Hello @Ashok2 ,

yes, you can, but you'll need to build the text by yourself using spaces and new lines. You'd need to replicate the functionality of the Create HTML table as that action will always add the html tags and you couldn't use it.
