I'm working on a flow that sends an email with an HTML table in the body of the email. The flow works with the exception of the number formatting of the table contents. It's set up by running the "Run a query against a dataset" action, where I pull the contents of a table from a dataset in Power BI. I then create the HTML table using First Table Rows value of that output, and use css formatting to format it into an excel style grid.
 
This is the output
Value1 %   Value2    Value3 Value4    Value5   Value6       Value7 %
0.130416962 1087    1679578214 67805    176.7148114     192089       0.768476209
 
And this is the desired output
Value1 % Value2 Value3 Value4 Value5 Value6 Value7 %
13%  $1,087  $1,679,578,214  $67,805  $177  $192,089 77%
 
 
I've tried using the formatnumber function and other actions to try to format the numbers properly but all fail, usually due to an error that it can't find the field I'm calling.
 
How am I able to format? Here is my flow currently:

    Formatting the values in an HTML Table
    For percentage columns
    concat(formatNumber(mul(items('Apply_to_each')?['Value1'], 100), '0'), '%')
     
    For currency columns
    concat('$', formatNumber(items('Apply_to_each')?['Value2'], '###,###'))
     
    For rounding values
    formatNumber(items('Apply_to_each')?['Value5'], '0')

    Formatting the values in an HTML Table
    Hi, Might not solve everything but suggest watching Advanced HTML Tables in Power Automate - Formatting cells, rows and vertical tables (youtube.com) which helped me solve a similar problem I was having. There is a section on formatting numbers including decimal places
