Vertically Align / Middle Align Column Text with Image—is it possible?

EDIT: adding that this is “solved enough” for me, and also dropping in links to some related threads in case it helps people:

Thread that Pablo_DV helpfully pointed me too:

Vertically align Icon and Name

Cool thank you! Visually it’s perfect but it opening a view-specific layout when clicked doesn’t work for me, I want it to open the source layout everytime like a normal reference. That’s actually a bit weird isn’t it? Is that by design? I updated the doc based on your reply (Also figured out how to embed (Would be nice not to share my entire Experiments table though ))

Another thread that mentions vertical alignment along with a better articulation and visualization (albeit not in the thread title)

Please add Text Alignment for Columns (Left, Right, Center)

Can we have the ability to align text? I would like to align some text to the right for visual reasons but cannot here is what I want [image] Here ius what we have [image]

Is it possible to align an image and text within a cell? In particular, I’m hoping to implement alignment for an entire column for columns that concatenate a thumbnail image and text from other cells within the table (e.g. [company logo image] + [company name]).

After more straightforward experiments that failed, I briefly played with LaTeX options posted by @Max_OBrien in 2021. I couldn’t get combined output that didn’t display the LaTeX as SVG code, however (which I assumed would happen based on the caveats provided).

Current working formula

(mostly by ChatGPT, if it matters)

WithName(
  If(
    thisRow.Project.Client.IsBlank(),
    "(no company)",
    thisRow.Project.Client
  ),
  cli,
  Concatenate(
    Image(thisRow.[Thumb Company (Cir, Sm)], 16, 16, "", "auto"),
    " ",
    If(Length(cli) > 15, Concatenate(Left(cli, 15), "…"), ToText(cli))
  )
)

Hi @mrbrownjeremy ,

There’s not a perfect solution, but in this post you have some workarounds: Vertically align Icon and Name - Ask the Community - Coda Maker Community

Hope this helps!
