Along with the filter criteria, the columns visible in a Power Apps view are very important to the value provided by the view. In this topic, you create or edit views by performing the following tasks:

Important

The latest version of the view designer is currently in preview. Some features like enabling or disabling presence for a column and adding a find column are not yet supported. To accomplish these tasks, open the view in the classic view designer.

Open the view editor

  1. Sign in to Power Apps.

  2. Expand Data, select Tables, select the table that you want, and then select the Views tab.

  3. Select an existing view to open it or on the toolbar select Add view.

Add columns

You can include columns from the current table or any of the related tables that have a 1:N table relationship with the current table.

For example, perhaps you want to display the owner of a user-owned table in a column. You can choose the Owner column of the current table to display the name of the owner. This will appear as a link to open the User row for the person who is the owner.

If you want to display the phone number for the owner of the row, you must select Owning User (User) from the Row type drop-down and then select the Main Phone column.

Add columns to views

  1. While creating and editing views, ensure that the Table columns panel is open. If it is not, select View column on the toolbar.

  2. Select the columns you want to add to the view designer. This adds the column as a column on the right-hand of the view.

  3. Select the Related tab to see related tables and their corresponding columns.

As you add columns, you will increase the width of the view. If the width of the view exceeds the space available to show it in the page, horizontal scrollbars will allow people to scroll and see the hidden columns.

Tip

If your view filters on data for a certain column so that only rows with a certain value are shown, don’t include that column in the view. For example, if you are only showing active rows, don’t include the status column in the view. Instead, name the view to indicate that all the rows shown in the view are active.

Note

When you add columns to Lookup views for updated tables, only the first three columns will be displayed.

Remove columns

  1. Select the header of the column you want to remove.

  2. In the dropdown, select Remove.

Change column width

  1. Hover over the area between columns in the view.

  2. A line appears and your cursor becomes a double sided arrow.

  3. Drag the column to the appropriate width.

Move a column

Click and drag the column header to the correct position.

Tip

You can also select the header of the column you want to move and from the dropdown select Move Right or Move Left.

Learning Objectives

  • Change width of columns and rows.

After you have entered several columns of data into a worksheet, you may realize you cannot read all the information in every cell. In this case you may want to resize the column. Microsoft Excel allows you resize column width to AutoFit the text, meaning each column will be sized according to the longest string of text in the column. Alternatively, for visual appeal, you may want all the columns in your table to have the same length; you can easily change multiple columns at the same time to have the same width. As in previous pages, the steps below explain how to resize a column, but the same steps can be used to resize a row as well.

AutoFit Column Width to Text

First, we will discuss making a column width AutoFit to the length of text in that column. Note that when you AutoFit column widths, Excel will make the column length match that of the longest string of text in any cell in that column.

Method 1

  1. Identify the column you wish to resize.
  2. Hover your mouse on the right boundary of the topmost cell of that column so that you see a cross or T shape. (If you are resizing a row, you will hover over the bottom boundary)
  3. Double-click on that right boundary.
  4. The column will automatically resize to fit the longest string of text in that column.

Compare the three columns on the left with the three on the right to see the results.

Method 2

You may also use the Format button in the Cells group of the ribbon to achieve the same results. From the dropdown menu, you will choose AutoFit Column Width or AutoFit Row Height. Note that if you wish to resize multiple columns, simply select them all before clicking on the Format button.

Set all columns to the same width

At other times, from visual reasons you may wish all columns (or rows) to have the same width (or height), regardless of the amount of text in them. Or you may want a single column to have a specified width.

Method 1

In this case, you will use the pixel information provided by Excel to manually resize the columns.

  1. Identify the column width you wish to resize.
  2. Hover your mouse on the right boundary of that column so that you see a cross or T shape. (If you are resizing a row, you will hover over the bottom boundary)
  3. Hold down your mouse button and drag the right boundary until you reach the desired pixel width. The pixels will be displayed in the parentheses.
  4. Release the mouse button.

Method 2

You may also use the Format button in the Cells group of the ribbon to set a specific column width. From the dropdown menu, you will choose Column Width or Row Height and manually type in the size you wish each column (or row) to be. Again, if you wish to resize multiple columns, simply select them all before clicking on the Format button.
