When using Document Generation action in Nintex Workflow for Office 365, with the Table Data Repeated format, configued type as Row.

The template type .pptx will create a new table for each row in the corresponding workflow collection variable, instead of creating a new row in the same table. 

Instructions

This behaviour is a PowerPoint limitation in that if the template does not provide enough rows in the same table, it will create a new table. 

The workaround of this behaviour is to create dynamic rows when using template type .pptx.

 

For example: 

If the collection variable has 5 rows, then you will need to create 6 rows in the table, with the details below:

 

1st row:  header 

2nd row: table start tag and table column tag

3rd - 5th row: empty row

 

See Use Row as Repeated format type for the details.

Additional Information

This behaviour only occurs in a Powerpoint (.pptx) file and won't affect a Word (.docx) file
