When we first released the Data table<\/a> control, the only control that an app maker had over column behavior and appearance was the ability to select the fields that appear in the Data table<\/a> control. A field that was selected then determined the width and label for the column. The styling was consistent for all columns in the Data table<\/a> control and was controlled by properties on the Data table<\/a> control itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the latest release of the Data table<\/a> control, we introduced the notion of Column controls. Column controls are children of Data table<\/a> controls, and can be accessed through the right pane, through Screen Explorer<\/strong>, and directly from the screen canvas.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n By using a Column control, app makers can now start to adjust the Data table<\/a> control at the column level! This release includes a small number of important customizations:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n For more information about the Column control, its properties, and how to use it, see the reference topic in the PowerApps documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This is just the beginning, though! We plan to extend the set of Column control capabilities over time. For example, in the future app makers will be able to adjust the styling of individual columns. Please let us know your thoughts about this new feature by leaving comments on this page, at the PowerApps Community Forum<\/a> if you have questions, or at the PowerApps Idea Forum<\/a> if you have additional ideas or suggestions.
