How to Populate Repeating Controls in Word via Power Automate

In 5 minutes, I will show you how to create a word document with a repeating control - a table with rows of data - and show you how to populate this control with repeating data. Great for invoices or attendee registers.

This is one of those tasks I've been struggling to implement. This makes my life SOOO much better.

Thank you Damo. I'd love do know how to do this without using premium actions similar to the way you outlined in your video titled "Populate a Word Document without Premium Actions via Power Automate (Method 2)". Both of these videos have been extremely useful and I appreciate any help you can provide on this subject. Thanks again!

Hi DamoBird365, thanks for all your videos and your commitment to our community, howerver i've a question about, how to hide/show a table or section in Word via Powerautomate?

Damien, thank you very much! It's what I looked for my project.

Thank you Damo - I know this is one of your older instructional videos but - is it possible to pass an Array into this function? I am collecting a multitude of rows from a data source and I'm struggling to get my Flow to produce just one Word Template, instead of insisting on "Apply to Each", producing multiple Word Documents, each with one row from my Array - even though I have set up the Template to house Multiples as you have outlined. Thanks!

Very useful video. But is there any way to include pictures in the repeating table?

[joecarosella]

Why doesn’t this work for image content controls!? I just need to populate a page with pictures from a folder and this seemed like the way, but i can’t get the image controls to show up in automate unless they aren’t repeating

Good afternoon, how can I add an image to the repeating area of my Word template?

[georgekontus]

Thanks, it was super useful. Will this work for multiple repeating controls too? 🤔

Hello DamoBird365, is there a way to make a repeating section that will be exactly on one page? I need to print bond title pages and most of the data in them repeats, only the bond number changes. Unfortunately, it works in such a way that the repeating section shifts according to the length of the text, and I can't achieve it to always be exactly on 1 page.

Hello Damo and thank you for another really useful video. My question would be, is there a workaround to populate the table without using the premium connector?

[AnupDutta]

Excellent video...I just need one additional help here...Can we use dynamic files instead of static to populate word document with repeating controls...Your quick help is highly appreciated, as i am stuck on this and cant figure out how to achieve this...

Why I don't have the repeating control in my Word? I have office 2019.

Thank you SO much for this video - your demo's are so clear to understand and follow along. I have a question: Is it possible to populate one template with information taken from two different SharePoint lists? (I have filtered info from List B that's linked into my main List A as a Lookup field, and what I'm trying to achieve is to generate a Word document from a selected record in the main List A which will pull through the List B data as a repeating field within that same Word template. Is this possible?)

[anthonyaltman]

I have a Form that I an fill in basic details But I also have a select array in the flow and when i select the outputs the RepeatingControl populates the first row. If i select the Array as a whole frommy output the control populates all the rows, But Only Populates the 1st Column. are you avaailable in poweraautomate community to tag to have a look at my flow?

[cultsphere]

Hi Damien, great video!
One question, when I follow your example, all of my data becomes one big table, and not 3 small tables as seen in your video.
Am I doing something wrong?

[obi-wankenobi]

So can i use ur flow to generate one word document with multiple pages for each row in my excel table

[marpas]

Hello DamoBird365, thats really awesome feature. No need anymore creating multiple templates depending on the size of the table and using a switch in workflow to use the correct template. I am finishing rebuilding my doc generating first template. However the same table should appear in a few places in docx. So in main contract but also in a few attachments to contract too. I just mark a table and copy/paste multiple times within template. But at the end only first table within template was populate with data. Any tips? I would be grateful for a help. Greetings
