I have created a simple flow which will perform below actions:
List Rows Present in a table -> Create HTML Table -> HTML table Styling -> Send Email with HTML table
My Excel table consists of some calculations and I have formatted the cell values as needed. (% values as Percentage, decimal places to required decimal values etc).
When List Rows Present in a table executed, it returns values without any formatting. For example:
cell value: 75% -> Returned as 0.75
cell value: 36.89 -> Returned as 36.8888888888889
cell value: 32.49 -> Returned as 32.4888888888889
cell value: 16.16% -> Retuned as 0.161616161616162
I can get all the column values from List rows present in table but not sure how to re-format the values and send email with appropriate figures. Any help or suggestion here?
Here is my flow:
Appreciated your help.

We can take an Excel file, read and format the content as a HTML table:
Each column of the Excel data will be read and returned to us as a string. For example 74.91 will be returned as "74.91". This means that we will need to convert the text into a number before we can format it as either a percentage or a floating point number. We can use the formatNumber function to format the number into a Percentage or Floating Point number using Standard Format Specifiers (eg. P0 for percentage with no decimal point) tell it how to display the output produced.
Here is an example of a row of data that is actually read from the Excel file:
"Percentage1": "0.59365695249913",
"Data 1": "6.03988297605158",
"Data 2": "18.9339464855052",
"Percentage2": "0.0827403679605414"
We can use the Select operation to format each row of data after it has been read from Excel:
These are expressions. Note how the item()?[ ] matches the Excel column names:
formatNumber(float(item()?['Percentage1']),'P0','en-us')
formatNumber(float(item()?['Data 2']),'F2','en-us')
formatNumber(float(item()?['Percentage2']),'P2','en-us')
formatNumber(float(item()?['Data 1']),'F2','en-us')
This is the table formatting code which you can copy and paste. I'll add this code below.
This is the Table formatting code:
<style>
table {
border: 1px solid #1C6EA4;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
width: 100%;
text-align: left;
border-collapse: collapse;
table-layout: auto;
}
table td, table th {
border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
padding: 10px;
}
table tbody td {
font-size: 13px;
}
table thead {
background: #1C6EA4;
border-bottom: 2px solid #444444;
}
table thead th {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;
color: #FFFFFF;
border-left: 2px solid #D0E4F5;
}
table thead th:first-child {
border-left: none;
}
</style>
