Imagine that you have a collection of data (such as a list sales orders, a set of service tickets, or a directory of contacts), and that you want to show this data in your Microsoft PowerApps app in a tabular format, where each column represents a field and each row represents a record. In the past, you might have been able to roughly simulate this visualization, although the process required some effort. However, we\u2019ve been listening to your requests and are happy to announce that you can now quickly and easily achieve this very typical visualization by using the new Data table control that has been recently added to PowerApps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve added the control to a screen, you simply need to link your Data table to a data source and then select which fields to show.\u00a0<\/p>\n Connected data sources<\/strong> Single-record selection<\/strong> Read-only data<\/strong> Column headings<\/strong> Broad customization support<\/strong> To learn more about the Data table<\/strong> control, its properties, and how to use it, see its reference topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n We hope that you find the Data table<\/strong> control useful for building apps that have the visuals that you want. As always, we’re extremely interested in any feedback that you have about this feature. You can leave your comments on this page, or at the PowerApps Community Forum<\/a> if you have questions, or at the PowerApps Idea Forum<\/a> if you have additional ideas or suggestions. We look forward to improving this control and PowerApps as a whole by incorporating your feedback and suggestions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Use the new Data table control in PowerApps to quickly and easily achieve a tabular visualization of your data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ms_queue_id":[],"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","_alt_title":"","ms-ems-related-posts":[],"footnotes":""},"audience":[3378],"content-type":[3424],"job-role":[],"product":[3473],"property":[],"topic":[3421],"coauthors":[2116],"class_list":["post-109163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","audience-it-professional","content-type-news","product-power-apps","topic-application-modernization"],"yoast_head":"\n

What the Data table control includes<\/h2>\n
\n
\n\tYou can use the Data table<\/strong> control in conjunction with connected data sources.\u00a0 Support for static data sources like Excel is coming soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tUsers can select only one row at a time in the Data table<\/strong> control. You can then use the Selected<\/strong> property to access field values from that row and provide data context to other controls in the app.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tAs with Gallery<\/strong> controls, Data table<\/strong> controls show read-only data. To enable a record to be edited, you must link the selected row in the Data table<\/strong> control to an Edit form<\/strong> control or another control that supports updating data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tA row of column headings appears at the top of the Data table<\/strong> control for reference. You can style the column headings to achieve the appearance you want.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\n\tYou can restyle a Data table<\/strong> control by customizing several properties. For example, you can adjust the style for the whole set of data rows, the selected row, or the row to which the user is pointing with a mouse.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u00a0<\/h2>\n
We want your feedback<\/h2>\n
