I am building an invoicing program for a law firm in Canvas Apps. The app has a "Create Invoice" button which creates an invoice in a word .doc format.

I want to create dynamic rows based on the type of invoice, as seen in the example below the total professional fees is split between 2 work categories , other invoices might have 4 categories, others might not have this so it would not be shown in the invoice. Also some invoices might have discounts so a discount row would be added, the others with no discount would not have this row etc...

I created the calculations in power automate , I can insert static rows with the Populate Word Document function in Power Automate mapping to the Content Controls , but I don't know how to embed dynamic content.

Can you give me some suggestions on how to do it ?

Hi @TG-17030944-0,

The direction to take would be some HTML for the whole panel, which you woud have to code in Power Automate with any optional lines being conditional. Depending on how many "options" exist (if there were less three ot four for example), I would use multiple templates and conditional branches in the Flow.

Hi @TG-17030944-0

One thing you can do, is add a repeating section IN your word template. Then build an array. You will map the headers to the section, but map the array to the repeating control. As for things where its conditional to even have, you would leverage a Condition action to check if it needs to be populated or not, such as the Discount. If there is no discount, (which the condition would check), either populate it in the Yes side, or skip the control in the No side.

Cheers
