Hi @ck25415
ClearCollect(colEmpty,Blank())
This will create a empty collection with a column called "Value"

You can create a collection with no data if that's what you need. For example:
ClearCollect(SampleCollection, { Field1: Blank(), Field2: Blank() });

Hi @ck25415 ,
For an absolutely blank Collection, you can do ClearCollect(colTestBlank, {}). The results of this one are:
Hi @ck25415 ,
Could you describe more clearly about the empty collection's structure?
Does the collection have fields?
Which do you extrally want
1)have fields with empty value?
2)have no field?
3)something else?
Best regards,
@RezaDorrani Thanks, that worked. I tried ClearCollect(emptyCol,"") and other suggestions from this post but the count showed 1 even though there are no items in the collection.
I wasn't sure what the official resolved resolution for this question was but I managed to work out how to create the default table layout I wanted and then to make sure it was empty. Posting here in case it helps others 🙂
//Create a Collection (table) that has column headers of SwitchID, SwitchModel, SwitchValue, SwitchPort, ConnectedDevicePort
ClearCollect(COL_SwitchHierachy,
{SwitchID: "",
SwitchModel: "",
SwitchValue: "",
SwitchPort: "",
ConnectedDevicePort: ""});
//The above creates a blank row, I want an empty table so I next clear the collection but keep the column headers
Clear(COL_SwitchHierachy)
