A very informative and insightful tutorial on the modern table control. A feature rich option to use in certain use cases instead of always leaning on the Gallery. Thanks for sharing, Reza.
Apparently the "DelayOutput" property is gone, Text Input now has a property called "Trigger output", if you set it as "Delayed" it gives you the same behavior. Cool video, Reza. :)
Brilliant video again Reza. So helpful. One of the only downsides I have found in using the table control is that it displays dates such as 'created on' and 'modified on' in the American format rather than uk format.
Great video thank you for all. Power apps has come a long way with these modern controls 👏🏼👏🏼 but there are some bugs and missing features hope they all will be solved soon
Reza, I like all your videos. Very informative. keep up the good work! Do you have a video with multiple tables in master detail relationship in tabbed format in one form.? Can you share the video please? Many Thanks !
Great video! I was super excited when Microsoft added the table control, but it still has too many issues to be used. The column widths don't stick, row heights can't grow, column names don't change, and there are too many scenarios that result in the table values appearing fuzzy. I think I've narrowed the fuzzy issue to laptop screens and screens that aren't run at the recommended setting. For example, I have 4k monitors and if I run them at 1080p the table data gets fuzzy and hard to read. They also don't work well with custom canvas resolutions. Hopefully, Microsoft will continue to develop the table control because it would be a great addition. For now, the gallery is probably the better approach depending on the use case.
Thank you, Reza, for creating this informative video. I have a question regarding the Table modern control: Can we change the display property of a specific column? For example, if we have a datetime column in the Dataverse table, can we configure it to display only the date and not the time? If you could provide an answer to this question, it would greatly assist me.
The modern table has a problem...upon scrolling more than 25 rows at once in list view mode loses the current selection field...you have any workaround for this?
Thanks for the tip about using ‘Alt’ to adjust column widths. I’ve been having the issue where column widths always revert to minimum, forcing me to constantly adjust.
Another excellent video! Three questions: 1) Can I filter by a field, such as Employee ID, that is NOT included in my table, but IS included in the data source list? 2) Can I wrap text for column headings and multiple line content fields? 3) For calculated columns that are formatted both in the data source list and the form used to insert new rows to have 2 numbers after the decimal, how can I display them that way in the form? At the moment, they are displaying 14 numbers after the decimal. Thank you!!!
@@RezaDorrani, thank you for your quick reply. I am very new to Power Apps - would you have a link to another of your videos that explain using filter function on items property of table? I have many rows in my Power Apps Form table that I would like to filter by selecting an Employee ID from a drop-down. The Employee ID had to be removed from the table but it is in the underlying SP List. Once an Employee ID is selected from the drop-down, it would filter the table to show only the rows that belong to that particular Employee ID (they may have many related rows in the table). Thanks again!
@RezaDorrami, yesterday I had a not very good surprise with this control. It simply stopped to show values, with a message of "No column selected". This at an app scheduled to be released next week. I opened a support ticket and the answer was that this control is still under preview, and that there is nothing they can do to solve it.
Check this post which explains about preview vs GA www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/blog/power-apps/ga-of-many-long-time-preview-features/ I have not experienced any issues with table control recently. Have also not seen any customers report this.
Reza, Thanks for sending me the link of the above Video! Much appreciated. I'm trying to do a master detail (One to many relationship) between two tables. I'm stuck on how to show the details table data for those selected in Master table when the relationship is not established in sql server. Although there are columns like ID in both master and details tables which can be joined. Can you please help?
These videos are the best references I have. I have done no work with sql so not sure how to help. I will recommend posting your issue/query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
Thanks Reza for sharing this video of Modern table. This help in designing Power App using Modern Table. Just one thing i wanted to know why is filter option in Modern table disabled thanks.
Hi Reza, Thanks again for this video but I have another question. Is it possible to increase the default size of the table above 25? i.e. the pagination occurs at 25 items.
Thank you Reza for your reply! Quick question : If I'm using the Modern controls and Themes in Power APPs, and I have Master and Detail table. To show the detail table only those records which is selected in Master, what should I use? If I have ID as PK in both the tables, how can can I do it?
@Reza - Wanted to check with you one thing - If I select an item in the data table, I am able to navigate the same to a page where I have a gallery. I would like to know how I can select that item in that Gallery that I have selected in the table. Also would like to know a work around to get countrows as there is a delegation issue. I understand the new table gives the count, but I would like to give a better UI to my users.
Why would you have a table for selecting and then a gallery for selecting? Sounds like duplication. Countrows is not a delegable function and Im not aware of any workarounds.
Thanks for the video and the good explanations, but there is something I don't get, why making a video and promoting something that is in preview and that might be fundamentally changed before GA? For example the property "Selected" has been removed from the table even though it is still in the documentation. Maybe because it was never working properly and it was always returning an incorrect value.
so this layout does not have the capability of editing the actual table by clicking on the items , right? Seems like it only displays the values as text input and you can change it to "edit" for the data type....
Hi Reza, is there a way to search on an already filtered data on table control. I have filtwred the table.to nly show the items belonging to the current user and i want to be able to search on rop of that.

Hi! Very useful info here, I've a question, how can I format to currency type a field of this table? If I have a to format a long Date to short date, how can I do it? Thanks for the help!!
For searching, when you added the search function on items property of Table you did not get any delegation warning. When i tried, it is showing delegation warning. Any idea?
I had the same issue. I wasn't able to set the Search function on the Project panels. Hope you'll make a video to show us how to troubleshoot it @RezaDorrani
I found this vid (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lYi24okXDPs.html) but it's the (old) problem that's supposed to happen with SP lists. No idea why it happens to Dataverse dtb

Hey Reza! Thanks for the video. Have you noticed any problems with the sorting feature of this table? None of my sortings work properly. It doesnt put them in order
Excellent timing I was looking for similar one, your videos always come as my first reference. Additionally, is it possible to edit the Heading title in modern control? If not, what is the better alternative for responsive screen?
@@RezaDorrani That's disappointing! Also I'd appreciate if you can help me understand how to control default selection in the modern table control? I am trying to run an action based on record selection. But when I write an if condition with IsBlank property it always returns false despite no record selection.
Thanks for this video Reza. Is there a way to join related tables in one table (like an inner join)? For example, I have created a View on two related Dataverse tables, but when linking the Table and its View to a Modern table on Canvas App, it does not allow to select the related table columns - only the main table. Do you know if this is a limitation on the Modern Table in Canvas App?
Great tutorial! When I add the search input, it doesn’t allow the sorting of the table to function properly anymore. Even though it says the sorting is enabled, it just doesn’t work anymore. Any ideas why this is happening? I’m using a share point list as a data source.
@@RezaDorraniI mean once I create the search capability, it completely removes the sorting functionality altogether. I am unable to sort anymore, even if I am not searching in that instance, even if I click “ascending” or “descending” on the table.
Reza, I am experiencing the same issue as @DanielBitters. When the 'Items' property references a list, i.e., ListName, the sorting functionality works. As soon as I add search, i.e, Search(ListName, SearchInput.Text, field1, field2), to the 'items' property, the sorting no longer works. I can select "ascending" or "descending" in the table, but the order of the items in the table does not change. @DanielBitters, were you able to resolve the issue? Thank you for such amazing content!
@@RezaDorrani Thanks Reza. My requirement is to group the Date columns by the Year and Get the Total Count (Records) and Total Sum (Amount) for contact. What would be the best approach ?
@@suganthar24 Im not sure if there is a non-delegable option for that. I will recommend checking or posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi Reza thanks for the video! I'm having a problem tho, tha table rows sometimes are not updated even if the filtering/searching is correctly done (the row number on bottom sx shows the right number). Any idea on what could possibly cause the problem? thanks!
Hi Reza, everything is great and your video helped me a lot, I got a problem though. Let say that at the beginning my table got only one record. I used the OnSelect property of the table to open a container where I got the form to edit data. Problem is that when I close the side container to go back to the table I can't re-open the edit form container, because the record is already selected and doesn't respond anymore to the OnSelect event and so far I didn't find any solution to this. Any Idea how could I solve this?
When you close the side container- you can set a variable to false and then set that same variable to true. Then use that variables as filter on items property of table.
@@RezaDorrani First, thank you for your kind reply! Sorry but don't know if I right understood but, when I close the container (I mean, when I set Visible = false) I set variable Set(var_test, false); Set(var_test, true); one after the other. But in the items property of the table (considering that is a collection) how can I use it? I mean I tried with Filter(, var_test) but of course doesn't work.
@@RezaDorrani doing this the second time because apparently didn't save my answer. Anyway I'm using a collection and there is no problem about delegation because record will be top 20-30 no more, and mostly I'm using it because I make use of those default SharePoint fields like "Created", "Modified".. date field that I can't format with dd/mm/yyyy so I wrote the following code ClearCollect(cl_activity_project, AddColumns(TPL_Internal_Project_Activities, CreateDate, Text(Created, "dd/mm/yyyy"), ModifyDate, Text(Modified, "dd/mm/yyyy"), CreatedBy, 'Created By'.DisplayName, ModifiyBy, 'Modified By'.DisplayName ) ); In any case, sorry, but the first solution you gave me, I got hard time to understand what I've to do (mostly within the items property of the table)

Hi Reza! Thank you for this great video! Question: When I use the modern table control, it does not display the data in choice columns for me. Why is that? How can I fix it? (I'm running this app and the Dataverse table in Teams.) Could it have something to do with the "global choice" selection? I'm not clear on what "global choice" is for or how to use it.
Hello! This video is really helpful for someone like me whose a beginner in powerapps. However, I'm struggling to insert the data table inside the container. Wheneve I tried to insert it, the data table is shows as a new screen. Please help. Thank you
I have not come across this issue. Video shows step by step how I add the control into container. I will recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani Thank you so much! Really this video is very helpful. Can i ask another question? For the side container, I only what to view the selected items? What can i do? Thanks
This gets me part way, but I really need someone to model multiple tables in a header/detail line fashion. In this tutorial you have two forms and two tables, but it's not a parent/child table relationship and I need to find something like that. Not sure if that's something you could model here or if anyone knows of resources for that type of powerapp. I've been scouring the tutorials and haven't seen anything to really explain that process.
I do not have a video reference on this. I will recommend checking or posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani Actually, I stumbled on your 'Editable Grid' series which looks like I may be able to extrapolate what I need from. But thank you, I will also check the forum.
Thanks, Reza. The edit function keeps giving the error "Network error when using patch function: An Error occurred on the server." Just to let you know that I am using SharePoint List
I have not come experienced this issue and hence not sure what the cause for it could be. I will recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
It does sort on data > 15 items. I will recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani the issue is with non U.S. date formats. You have to convert them to text then they can't sort correctly because of text conversion format. The modern table only shows dates in U.S format
@@RezaDorrani yes. I think i figured why is it happening. My data source is sharepoint and the search query gives delegation warning. Hence the sorting on modern table fails to work
That table control looks incomplete. Does not show lookup column values. I had to create additional formula columns in the data source table to display the values of the related lookup records. Column reordering by drag-and-drop is buggy, column order is better set in column control properties. I can't figure out how to display the date in a format other than "8/7/2024 12:00 AM". It looks like you need to create an extra formula column in the data source table just to display the dates in the desired format (but this appear also unavailable due the Dataverse column limitations). That's stupid. This widget is only suitable for the simplest scenario with no additional formatting, no lookup values.
Here is my statement : 'data_prospector.DP_UserSummary'.Selected.'data_prospector.DP_UserDatabaseList' in the formula for items for the detailed sidebarContainer Somehow it is not liking the "Selected" as a valid property or function. My intention is to access the selected row of the DP_UserSummary' table, to get to the details of Dp_UserDatabaseList It i also not liking the '.' (dot operator ). Can you help me to resolve it ?
Is there a way to have the secondary table display different linked data depending on what you select from the primary table? Also would this work with lists?
What does different linked data mean? Currently it shows linked data depending upon the relationship. End of the day, there must be some reference with main table. Can also work with SharePoint lists - formulas wont be same though.
@@RezaDorrani so if I had two tables references from the primary, so if I clicked ‘name’ it would show all associated projects as in yours, but if I had another table with financial data could I select a separate column and display the other referenced data? Would and ‘if’ statement work with table.selected? Do you happen to know the lists formulas?
Hi That is really helpfull content but one more question when we are adding lookup column in modern table control it will not works getting blank column why is that?
