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).

[@travisstrean4185]

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.

Looks like it can be used like. Modern gallery… not exactly, but somewhat like that

[@RezaDorrani]

It’s more like a data table. Modern galleries will come in future.

[@DaHooka]

Is there something like a .AllItems for a table , that we could build a sum on a number cloumn?

[@RezaDorrani]

There is not. Even if there was, it won't give you correct result as table and gallery both load data in batches.

[@DaHooka]

@@RezaDorrani Thanks for checking used a collection for table and sum then

[@DaHooka]

@@RezaDorrani Oh so you mean if the gallery is not completely loaded it would lie to us :) Thanks for the headsup

[@RezaDorrani]

@@DaHooka It would not lie. It would simply give the sum based on what it loads :)

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

[@work_in_projects608]

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....

[@RezaDorrani]

Currently, its a read only table experience.

[@wasimakram522]

I am unable to wrap the text of table headers, which causes the column widths to adjust unnecessarily and increases the table's length. Are there any solutions

Hey Reza how the paginate works, how to enable it please?

[@RezaDorrani]

It's out the box feature. Nothing is needed to be enabled as far as I know.

[@mouctechy]

@@RezaDorrani Yes, It's there but how to make it work? should it inherit that from the data source or? because I didn't see any way to activate it like if my table contains 10 rows, basically how to set 5 records per page and be able to click next arrow to see the second page. Thanks

[@RezaDorrani]

@@mouctechy You cannot set record count. It comes based on how much data you have.

[@misterh1]

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.

Table column width been resetting every time, is there a way to auto fit?

[@RezaDorrani]

Currently, No. This is called out in documentation of table control

[@miteshs3270]

Why that in sort dropdown ..filter by option is disabled?

[@RezaDorrani]

Because that’s a feature coming in future

[@neney83]

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.

I think I showed it in one of my newer table videos. Its called tips and tricks for modern table control.

[@evaldasilginis3119]

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.

[@RezaDorrani]

Table control is currently in preview. There are known bugs and limitations.
