Hi there,
I am trying to create an HTML table using the "Create HTML Table" action. The data is pulled correctly into the table, however the table headers are not aligned correctly but only on the first column. I have tried both with the Select -> Automatic approach as well as creating a custom table and they both have the same error.
This is the end result of what the table looks like. As you can see the data is correct but it the alignment is wrong. I don't know HTML that well so hoping there is a way to fix this or is this just a bug with Power Automate?
You cannot control the formatting of the columns directly in the "Create HTML Table Action". But you can modify it's output easily enough as it is only creating HTML. I just tested it and it worked fine. To align your headers you can simply add a "Compose" action right after your HTML Table action and use an expression like this:
Share
Report
All responses (
Answers (
replace(body('Create_HTML_table'), '<th>', '<th align="left">')
This will change the headers to be left aligned like the body. In your email action use the outputs from the compose action instead of the Create HMTL Table action. So the complete flow looks like this:
If I view the HTML source of the message before I made the modification it looks like this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Mark@outlook.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Matthew</td>
<td>Matthew@outlook.com</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
And after the compose action it looks like this:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th align="left">Name</th>
<th align="left">Email</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Mark@outlook.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Matthew</td>
<td>Matthew@outlook.com</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
And the email looks fine also:
Hope this helps.
Hey @carterbarry88 ,
It's not a bug. By default the headers come up as center aligned in "Create HTML Table" connector. So, as you can see in your result headers are center aligned. Even quantity is center aligned but due to small column length it's looking as justified.
Way to solve this is look for online html generator tool & customize your table accordingly. Use that html code in the connector as to make your table look as per you desire.
