Map to Table

The Map to Table block converts a single table row or a map (object) into a table with one row.

When you add this block from the palette, input is bound to @parent.@data. Inside a repeater item, this is the data of the current row, so the block returns that row as a one-row table.

For information on using dataflow blocks, see Dataflow.

For answers to some common questions about working with tables, see Tables.

The following property of the Map to Table block can take input and give output.

• input

input receives the value to convert:

• A table row (for example a repeater item's @data): The output is a table with the same columns as the source table and only this row. The row keeps its original row number.
• A map: The output is a table with one column for each key in the map and one row that holds the values.
• A table: The table is returned unchanged.

For any other value, output is null.

The following property of the Map to Table block can give output but cannot take input.

• output (table)

output returns the one-row table.
