This is so confusing!?!?!

You can't use fv!index in HTML! You need to write an expression in Appian that turns your actual data into a HTML formatted text. This text represents the HTML table. Then call this expression to replace a single placeholder like I described.

Yes, you already explained. But as I send you screenshot- how can I use fv!index in html?
like I have pv!eventdetiails.comment_txt that using in parameter ###comments###

How can I use fv!index?

Hi, could you please check if both the files HTML and CSV are stored in the same folder. Try different folder for them then try to get the doc Id of it.

I am looking the above mentioned code.. When I use this code it shown up as same.

I am using Node "HTML from doc template"

after that I am converting it into pdf which is successfully converted.

The issue is with multiple rows not showing up. Just wanted to know how to use above code in HTML?

This is a table I am using:

<table style="border:2px solid black" width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><label> comments </label> </td>
<td><label> createdDate </label> </td>
<td><label> createdBy </label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> ###comments### </td>
<td> ###createdDate### </td>
<td> ###createdBy### </td>
</tr>
</table>

basically I want to repeat this row. because this row has multiple entries.
<tr>
<td> ###comments### </td>
<td> ###createdDate### </td>
<td> ###createdBy### </td>
</tr>

You can check the screenshot:

Is there any other way I can export data to csv?

RE: Convert HTML to CSV and send to CSV file in Email

Requirement is CSV file should send in the email attachment.
I have created a HTML template and convert it into CSV.

Now, the issue is: When csv file is generated all data is coming in one row in concating form.
I want to split that data in each single row. This is happening because of this <tr>
<td>###col1###</td>
<td>###col2###</td>
<td>###col3###</td>
<td>###col4###</td>
<td>###col5###</td>
<td>###col6###</td>
<td>###col7###</td>
<td>###col8###</td>
</tr>

So I want to use foreach.

Well ... you really lost me ... HTML, CSV, email, one row vs. multiple .... what is the purpose of all of this ?!?!?!?

RE: Convert HTML to CSV and send to CSV file in Email

manjit.1486 — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 15:10:31 GMT

I want to use loop for this row only..
<tr>
<td>###col1###</td>
<td>###col2###</td>
<td>###col3###</td>
<td>###col4###</td>
<td>###col5###</td>
<td>###col6###</td>
<td>###col7###</td>
<td>###col8###</td>
</tr>

This is something like when HTML convert to CSV only one row is showing up(it's picking up only one row from database). But we have have multiple row in database. I want to use foreach for the same.

Without knowing what you actually want to achieve, this is so confusing !?!?!?!?

If you want to use a placeholder for the body of a HTML grid, you should exactly do that.

<table>
###table_body###
</table>

and then use some code like this to generate the content

joinarray(
  a!forEach(
    items: enumerate(3),
    expression: concat(
      "<tr>",
      "<td>col1-",fv!index,"</td>",
      "<td>col2-",fv!index,"</td>",
      "<td>col3-",fv!index,"</td>",
      "<td>col4-",fv!index,"</td>",
      "<td>col5-",fv!index,"</td>",
      "</tr>"
    )
  ),
  char(10)
)

Hello @stefan

Can you please look into this?

<table>

<tr>
<td> <label> Security </label> </td>

<td> <label> Settlement_Date </label> </td>

<td> <label> Quantity </label> </td>

<td> <label> Trade Currency </label> </td>

<td> <label> Account </label></td>

<td> <label> Model Portfolio </label> </td>

<td> <label> RefCode9 </label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>###col1###</td>
<td>###col2###</td>
<td>###col3###</td>
<td>###col4###</td>
<td>###col5###</td>
<td>###col6###</td>
<td>###col7###</td>
<td>###col8###</td>
</tr>

</table>

</BODY>
</HTML>

This is my html template. I need to use foreach in this template.
Can we use foreach for this row?

<tr>
<td>###col1###</td>
<td>###col2###</td>
<td>###col3###</td>
<td>###col4###</td>
<td>###col5###</td>
<td>###col6###</td>
<td>###col7###</td>
<td>###col8###</td>
</tr>

Thanks

Well, it is you who configures the node to send the email. I am not sure how I can help you here? You have to make sure to attach the right file.

I am using two nodes..
1. HTml doc from template
2. Convert HTML to CSV

Both HTML and CSV file saved in folder but in email only html file is going.

CSV file is not going in email

What exactly do you mean with "But in email instead of sending CSV file HTML file is passing."?

I mean, a document that you attach to an email is just an attachment. And when you attach the CSV, then I do not understand where any HTML should come from !?!?!?

I am trying to send a CSV file in a email.

I have HTML template and am converting it into csv by using smart service "Convert HTML to CSV". But in email instead of sending CSV file HTML file is passing.

Hi Stefen,

I want to pass a CSV doc only but HTMl is sending in a email.

RE: Convert HTML to CSV and send to CSV file in Email

Stefan Helzle — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 06:00:57 GMT

A CSV file would be a good candidate for being attached to the email. Did you try that?
