Posted on by christianh2o

I'm creating a flow attempting to take an html table and automatically place it in a word document. However, whenever I run the flow, it shows up as a string in the document and not as a table as it would in email. Any and all advice would be appreciated.

Re: Create an HTML table into a word document

Hello @ChristianAbata , do you know of a way to accomplish something similar without using Word connectors? Seems my organization hasn’t made that connector available to us and has it set to Premium.

Re: Create an HTML table into a word document

The workaround without using a premium connector: add a placeholder for where the table will be located. save the word file as a single webpage, filtered. save the html file to a doc library in sharepoint. In power automate, use the substitute expression to replace placeholders. Use the html table action to create an html table, the use substitute to replace the html table place holder. then you can save the html file as a pdf using the one drive connector. You might have to edit the html code of the template to make it responsive before uploading it to sharepoint. It will help when converting to pdf later.

@ChristianAbata @christianh2o - Hey, just picked this up whilst assisting on another post... The Encodian connector's (which is standard and there is also free tier) 'Populate Word' action covers this. Its demonstrated in the following posts / vids:
