Another great piece. Looks like the new Table control is quite versatile and powerful. Definitely another option to Galleries I reckon. Thanks for Sharing.
I watched your previous video about Patch function and Modern controls, I added the table and found that it worked with SharePoint so my next app was going to use that feature, though I was nervous about it since it did say "dataverse only". thank you for showing us how it works. I like these new modern controls, allows us to build neat looking layouts faster.
Hi @@RezaDorrani , i have used this with sharepoint also but i seem to be having a problem with it and the modern forms not loading in choice fields. Have you encounter this
Control is in preview. So too early to talk about performance. However modern controls are designed to be faster from a rendering standpoint. What data source I connect to, how many columns, delegation etc. all play a key role in performance irrespective of it being a gallery or a table
This is a great video as I'm using this new control and it really helped. I noticed that you have a timestamp showing on your Dataverse table example, how can you format that to date only, especially if the column in Dataverse is set as date only?
Really helpful this video. One question though is how was the table layout changed automatically when the form appears and disappears. I see you used 2 containers. THanks for the response.
Thanks! Is there a way to persistently set the column sizes on the modern table item? I have observed it reverts back to original column size when the app is closed and then opened. @@RezaDorrani
Hi Reza Awesome video but I have a question with regards to SharePoint lists in the modern table. How did you in your example have columns that have choices or are they just text fields that look like choices? I created a SharePoint list for my app but the data in my choice columns is not displaying anything?? I noticed that each data card is labeled as Custom and if I select the Table from the Tree View / Custom Card Name / Dropdown / Field Type - they are all of type "s". Can this be changed to a different type to read from SharePoint or is there another way to read in the SharePoint data?
Thank you for replying, Reza. I hope Microsoft add the support for SharePoint as there are a lot of smaller companies that we develop apps for and Dataverse is not viable for their budgets or use cases. Until then, I am following your other tutorial on Responsive Gallery as a table with column filtering.
Hi Reza is there any option to auto width of the Columns in the modern table as I've 30 columns they are shrinking I need to adjust it manually and when I restart app back to same, is there any way to do so Thank you.
I noticed your list only option for reflow shows three fields while mine only shows two. How can I change that? BTW I just subscribed because you are by far the best tutor I could find and your ideas are so creative. please keep up the wonderful work
Thanks for the sub and the appreciation! List only showing 3 fields is an OOTB option. I did not make any specific setup. Just make sure the first 3 fields in table control has data.
Hey Reza ,my whole career is based on your video tutorials , thank you so much. I have a concern regarding OnSelect property of Table and refresh() function , If I use hit button which has refresh function of my SP list ,then it get navigate to form screen thats which i have in Onselect proprty of Modern Table control. And when I submit the form using Submit Function , after submit it navigate to gallery screen and back to form screen with blank page/record, strange behavior
Hi Rena, do you know a way to allow a word wrap in a column for this table control? I have a column with a longer string I would like to wrap. Love this control!
Hi Reza. This is extremely helpful. Thank you again for this tutorial. One quick question, In the table I have many columns like 10-12 columns and as a result the columns are so narrowed that I can't even read the names of the columns and values. Is there a way to enlarge the columns? When I play the App, I can do that one by one but after publishing the app its going again to the narrowed version. Is there a to permanently enlarge the columns? Thanks
@@RezaDorrani Thanks for confirming as I read the same in Microsoft blog. Also, is there an alternative as of now with same functionality? Just wondering? :? Can I use the table preview in Classic Experience? Will that give me the same functionality?
Hi! I found a problem using containers, when a set a header container and I insert a header or a table, I can't modify its size, it's static different like your video. do you know what I should change in order to enable the custom size using the cursor?
This is GREAT!!! Just what I needed for developing a list with dynamic columns with form views. I created this but used your tutorial for list views in the dropdown. The only issue is that I cannot seem to get a New Form to open in the form container. Just edit form pops up. I tried a CREATE NEW button with Set(varFormType, "New");NewForm(Form2), but still shows the table item. Any tips on this?
Seems Table control is not available anymore, atleast I don't see it for new canvas apps from today. I was able to use it earlier in other apps which was created earlier. Any idea if they removed this preview feature?
Found this sooo useful! Thank you! Following on from you showing you can copy from the table into Excel, can you copy from Excel and paste into the table?
Hi Reza, Nice to explain this control ! Your knowledge help us everyday to learn new things of PowerPlatform! Very nice to show a form control when a row is selected, but how can the form be hidea after..? I want to show this form as a popup screen , but cannot a find a way to hide it...If you can give me an idea ... Thank you!
hey Reza, thanks for you video is very informative, Microsoft Automate change the edit layout, I can't build a flow from a Form to Sharepoint List, can you do a video to guild us pleas.
Most welcome! I have a few ideas in my backlog. Not sure which one I would do next so no guarantees. You can always revert to old flow editor by adding &v3=false in url
Thanks for your great video, Reza! One question, How should I initialize Form you mentioned in 10:30 ? I'm trying to do the same but there is no timing to EditForm.
Very good video, thank you for doing this. I apologize if you answered this already - if you click on the dropdown icon on each header, there is a Filter By option but it is greyed out. I understand I can create my own dropdown controls and filter the data as you have done in this video, but it appears that some kind of filtering is built-in (or is planned and not yet available). I would like to filter by all columns, which makes adding separate filter controls somewhat cluttered, and opens issues of multi-column filtering/sorting. Do you know how to enable that built-in filter or if it is a feature planned in a future release?
Thanks so much for this Reza - this is exactly what i've been looking for - to connect with a sharepoint list. I've followed along with the entire video, however when i'm connecting the table to my sharepoint list, i keep getting an "error when trying to retrieve data from the network. the attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold" Not sure how you were able to bypass this with your list being over 10,000 items...mine is around 9,000 items. So it won't show me any of the data in my table - when i connect to the old version of the data table, it allows me to see the data...but with all of the issues of not being able to see/load more than 2000 items
This boils down to delegation and handling large data with sharepoint.

For the life of me, I can't find any documentation on the FieldType property for the columns in the tree view. I want to show a currency field formatted as currency, but I have no idea what FieldType value to provide. Reza - Do you have any insight into this?
Huge fan of your videos! I am new to the Dataverse world, but when I add a dataverse table to a modern table, I only get 2 columns ("title" and created on) When I add a choice column, everything goes blank - is that something you or anyone reading this has come across?
For the most part great video. But the part where you have 2 containers side by side, the right one with a form in it. You never showed how to do that part. Now I'm stuck.
Hi Reza, this is gold and i learnt so much. However, i have a question, how do you hide the edit form after you are done considering that the modern data table is not allowing you to unselect the rows? Thanks
Hey Reza, you're probably the best teacher ever 😊. Is there a way to include a sum here that sums up a column, even if there are more than 2000 records?
Amazing like always ! But in my tenant business, i can connect the component table to my SharePoint List but column type choices are not supported, the values are not retrieve, may be the versionning or for the moment only available in US ? Thanks a lot Reza for this topic !
There is an issue with SharePoint complex type columns. Even in my demo - I created a calculated column that shows value of choice column and put it on the table.
Great video Reza and thanks for sharing. Quick question. The table I am using from Dataverse has several lookup columns. Some are showing with the values in the rows but others display nothing. When I try to add them from the field selector, they show as custom card and dont display data. Do you know why this could be?
I've just added the source tables in the tables section in the menu on the left and the values have appeared. Strange but appears to work for now. Interestingly though, one of the fields brings up and SQL CRM error.
This is a great video. I am following along but I am not sure how you aligned the container within the main container that shows your form to the right of the table?
Thanks! The video is a step by step build from what I remember. May be I don’t remember :) Video description probably has link to download sample app (members only)
First off I love your videos. Very helpful. As it relates to this table control...how do you export the entire data in the table to a flow to be exported to Excel? Unlike a gallery control, there doesn't appear to be a way to Extract All to a flow to create an Excel File to be downloaded? How can I export all my filtered table data to a flow?
Idea would be to not export either table or gallery data as both would run into delegation challenges. Best option would be as shown in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZdngrwWsqA.html
@@RezaDorrani Thanks, that helped. On another note, I have a date field called Closed Date and it is empty until the case is closed. However, for closed date default the Table Control is showing a random date instead of blank?? FYI, this is a Dataverse Table Date ONLY field. I want the field to show blanks and not the default date that seems to be there.
@@RezaDorrani I implemented your suggested video...however I have another issue I'm hoping you can help me with. I want to disable the export button when the NEW Modern Control Table doesn't have any items in it. There doesn't appear to be a property to use like the gallery to determine if items exists in the table...unless I'm missing it somewhere?
@@MarkSmith-338-gd7jp Modern table currently does not. I would recommend checking or posting your query on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi reza great video once again. Regarding data verse tables, does security/permissions get taken into account.? E.g a user will only be able to see records they have permissions to see or will we have to code in filters to the apps based on signed in user
Hi, this nice new modern table has a serious bug. If you put in more then 30 rows and present it on a normal desktop monitor 21" and try to filter, it won't filter untill you filter the same control 2 or 3 times. Also refreshing adds double data. Took me a friday evening to find out! I had to make a toggle between classic and modern table to subvert this..
Modern control is in preview. I will recommend sharing this feedback within the product itself. There is a thumbs up or down area next to modern controls tab where you can share this feedback
Interesting....in your example the form shows all values, including the values of the dropdowns....I replicated your example but my form doesn't show the dropdown choices. Any idea why?
Greetings from Australia. Thanks - I've been keeping an eye on the Table control and it's getting there. Galleries are nice, but for simple data views time consuming to implement in some use cases and the old data grid doesn't play nicely in contrainers. My understanding is that end users should be able to sort and filter directly from the column headers without the need to code it as you have done here. The hover arrow is there on the column header but it doesn't seem to do anything. It will be great when that is implemented. PS - Better luck next time 😁on the cup
Hi Reza, I like the way you demonstrate the features with examples. I have to build Applications to insert/update Azure SQL server database data. Can I leverage the very same approach you demoed here or is there any specific videos you have already published.
For some reason, when I click the submit button. It only submits the first edit into my datasource for example: original: CS1 1st Edit: CS1YYYYYYY It doesn't submit subsequent changes to my Datasource Appreciate your help in this Reza

Hi Reza. Big thanks! I have built my first app with the help of your videos. Now, I am making some design changes to it. Following your video above, is it possible to adjust row height of a table connected to a SharePoint list, please? If I am not mistaken, I saw some folks achieved this, but couldn't find how to do it.
I am a new Bee, Can you explain the table with the the Microsoft List, which one better to build an Apps, let's say I want to build an app for Tracking Process of User request to me? thank you!
Hi Reza. This is awesome. You usually demo your development process showing the steps. Could you do the same here please? Like adding another container and connecting to form etc. Thanks a lot!
Reza, how can i handle to display information of a table that i have the ID value that makes reference to another table, and the ID's are the same, or for example, if we have a FK or so... i can not figure out how to do it with this Table Control Tutorial. (My connection is with PostgreSql)
Great tutorial as always Reza. Is there a way to increase the width of the columns? I have allowed it to be scrollable but it still tries to squeeze all columns into to container, hence not readable.
Reza, great stuff. I can see this offering a great deal of flexibility to filter larger record libraries (document libraries). Do you have any references or pointers to how we would incoporate this table on top of a document library - and open the underlying document on click ?
Hello Reza, can we apply validation on the data table columns similar to excel and highlight the incorrect cell data? if yes, would like to know how it can be achieved? Thanks :)
Great video Reza! Thank you so much! One question: Can this table have the feature of adding new rows where use can copy and paste into the new row? The scenario i am thinking of is this table would be perfect to have as my line item source and have it be right under my main header table form that uses data from another table. The end goal I want to do is to Patch the data from the header form and table (line item) to its respective dataverse tables using one button. i.e. Submit.
@Reza This is very good and easy to create a table view. But I am facing a problem here , for example if I have let say more than 20 columns which I want to show here , in this case it is showing very small length where we can not read the complete column title and I did not find the solution for this. Can you please suggest how can I do this ?
@@RezaDorrani Yes I can change it manually. Like if I run the app and then I am able to change it. But when I closed and reopen it is still the same. I need to do it again for all the 20 columns . Is it possible to fix that in develpment it self so that when it runs it show with proper size with a scroll bar ?
Is it possible to combine this with your graph api search to make full string searches possible in sharepoint lists? I just can't explain not being able to offer full text search (and we have more than 10k items in that project list)
Hi Reza, I tried using the new table but when I use Addcolumns some column data is missing, to be specific, my first, middle, last names are on differnt columns but when I combined them using addcolumns other data is blank

Hi Reza, Thanks for the wonderful insights gained from your videos, on this particular video, I can't seem to get the detailed steps to line up the canvas to include all the containers, is there a more detailed steps video that walkthrough adding all the other containers and form? Kind Regards
Does anyone have guidance on the container 3 properties (the one that is visible when a row is selected)? I'm having a difficult time trying to overlay within the same container as the table. Thank you!
Hi Reza, greay video! Does the modern data table work with all column types when using a sharepoint list as a datasource? Im experimenting with it now but it doesnt seem yo pull through values on choice colums or created by
Hi Reza, just wanted to ask if you've tried using a date in the table and were you able to hide the time when showing data in the table. I have a dataverse date only column but it still shows 12:00 AM on all my dates
Nice video but I'm stuck on filtering as I'm not using Dataverse 'In' doesn't work. What can I put in that is delegable here so that it will filter on the 'Department's that are selected?
I have many columns in a table that is being used in order to create a power app. When I import the modern tools table format, all the fields gets shrinked. It is extra work to adjust each column size and when I exit the app and get back in, it turns into shrinked again. Is there a place to adjust the size of the column at one time?
Table control is in preview. It has a few gotchas. One easy thing to do is when you select an item and click button to edit, on click use lookup function to get the item from SP based on ID, save it in variable and use this on form.
