Table function in Power Apps

The Table function creates a table from a list of records or tables provided as arguments directly within the app.

The resulting table includes all columns from the provided records or tables, with any missing values in a column replaced by blank values. If a record does not contain a value for a particular column, a blank is automatically inserted.




It’s important to note that the Table function does not create a permanent table. Instead, it returns a temporary table constructed from its arguments.

This is particularly useful when working with small, static datasets that don’t require a connection to external data sources

Syntax:

Table(Record1, Record2, ...)

Record1, Record2, …: These are the individual records that you want to include in your table. Each record is specified using curly braces {} and contains a set of field names and their corresponding values.

Use of Table function in a Gallery

The Table function can be used as a data source for Galleries.

Suppose you want to create a list of employees with their ID, Name, and Salary, and display this information in a gallery.

Let’s add a Vertical Gallery control to your screen as shown below.

Now, Set the Items property of the gallery to the Table function.

Table(
    {
        ID: 1,
        Name: "Rajesh Kumar",
        Salary: 25000
    },
    {
        ID: 2,
        Name: "Ajay Chauhan",
        Salary: 30000
    },
    {
        ID: 3,
        Name: "Sumit Viyas",
        Salary: 45000
    }
)

This Table function creates a temporary table with three rows and each record in the table is defined by records such as {ID: 1, Name: “Rajesh Kumar”, Salary: 25000}, and the gallery control is bound to display this data.

Now you can see, the gallery displays three records with the fields ID, Name, and Salary.
