How to write a little HTML in an HTML table.

[martinav]

I want to make a pickable text link in my HTML table.  This doesnt seem to do it.  It just shows the code.

In this example, I just want to see "Text Link" in the LinkToECN column.

Can do?

You can create a compose action after you create your table and use this expression -

replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table'), '&lt;', '<'), '&gt;', '>')

That'll convert the HTML table to actual usable HTML, without the contents being encoded.

If you're sending it via email, just make sure you have it set to send as HTML.

@SCTdan ,

Yes!  That works perfectly.  Exactly the result I was after.

I have absolutely NO idea how you wizards know how to do this stuff...

I would have gotten nowhere with my apps without these forums!

@JimmyJames25 Check for the run results. The double quotes might be encoded to "

If so, try replace quotes 

replace(replace(replace(body('Create_HTML_table'), '&lt;', '<'), '&gt;', '>'), '&quot;', '"')
