So I am working on an app that generates an estimate for repairs across several sections of a property (kitchen, bath, HVAC, etc.) As the user fills out the quantities (2 sinks, 4 doors, etc) the calculations are made down a column. like so ![column](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/0/208fe93af71b3a95147b5b4c8b4f5e6ed110bb47.png) Then what i am doing is a Joined list of the loggedin users estimates across the sections and then I split the joined list totals like so. ![total-array](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/a/0af49353c93d5ff19fc0d143cee26a46a7a8de86.png) Then on the front end, a user profile has a button which sets columns from the USC to a column on the User sheet which sends the totals to a cell on their row. ![userpush](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/d/8ddc8df8b72ef12adffaabd23022f8324b5e7f7d.gif) What I am then doing is creating a template column to create an email (currently markdown) that imports that array pushed to the User sheet into an email. So here is my problem… 1. I need somewhere in this process to be able to convert the array into something more readable like a table or even well organized with line breaks between the sections but when i add they end up being stringed with the array and the email looks like garbage. 2. Am I going about this the wrong way? In the end I would like a list of generated estimates viewable by admins. Because the values are all user specific, getting them over back into the user sheet as a non-USC required a workaround but that workaround produces something like this: ![instead](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/9/3911b7a2240e4aab998595780ddfd4a6d75fa83e.png) instead of something like this: ![listestimate](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/7/37806e5753aa02cd28ee760ecc45237631a3c32a.png) Any ideas? ---

How are you sending those emails? I was thinking you can force the email to be in HTML mode. ---

That was exactly what i was trying to accomplish… at the moment the email is just sent using a send email action… ---

Ah if you’re using Glide’s send email action then I think you won’t have an option to force it to be HTML. I usually pass the info to Integromat/Make and test it in there. ---
