Hi, Is there a way for me to create statistics out of certain columns in a comprehensive table?

[Kartik Dokania]

I'd like to create a table, where stats shall be automatically updated based on the entries made on another table. These stats may be based on the entries under certain columns of the parent table only.

Is there a macro that allows me to do this?

Hello Kartik,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

This is not a feature of Confluence, but you might be able to use a 3rd party macro from Marketplace to do this. 

I'm including your question in the Marketplace Apps collection, in case anyone has something to recommend you. One example add-on I know can do things a bit similar to this is called Table Filter and Charts for Confluence. I haven't used it myself, but I've seen it help other users build tables from data. Maybe it can help in your case?

Regards,

Shannon

Hello Shannon,

Thanks for your response. I'll give the mentioned add-on a try to see if it addresses my needs.

On another note, is there any plan to expand on the current set of freely available macros to include some of the capabilities of paid Add-ons like the one you highlighted?

Regards

Hello Kartik,

There's one macro in Confluence that does something similar but only in key/value pairs. That's the Page Properties Report macro.

You can also use the Excerpt Include Macro to reference ane entire table, but not individual portions.

Only an add-on could really give you the functionality you require, and they are created to extend Confluence beyond its built-in capabilities, thus the reason that many of these add-ons or paid.

You can also reach out via jira.atlassian.com to suggest any feature requests that aren't already in Confluence, but please note that if a feature already exists in an add-on, the feature request may not to be high priority, since there's a workable solution.

I hope that's clear! Do let me know if you have any questions about this.

Regards,

Shannon
