Is it possible to expand a whole row in a table?

[Rainie Green]

Hello all,

I find it quite difficult to do it and I am not sure if it's possible to do.

I have a table like:

header: Region | Country | abc | xyx 

row 1:  EU |  France | ... | ...

row 2: EU | UK | ...

row 3: Asia | Malaysia | ...

row 4 Asia | Japan

What I want is when I click on "EU" it can expand to more 2 row of France and UK... and when I click on Asia, it can expand to another 2 rows of Malaysia and Japan. 

As I must put the data in a table, it's quite difficult for me to find another solutions. 

I am just starting to use Confluence. Thanks for reading and sorry for my stupid question.

Hi @Rainie Green ,

My only thought on how to do this out of the box is to create separate tables for each set (e.g. a table for EU entries, a table for Asia entries, etc.) and use the "Expand" macro to expand/collapse each section for the individual tables.  It would look something like this when expanded:

Europe (Collapse)

header:  Country | abc | xyx 

row 1: France | ... | ...

row 2: UK | ...

Asia (Collapse)

row 1: Malaysia | ...

row 2 Japan

And like this when collapsed:

Europe (Expand)

Asia (Expand)

Or...

Europe (Expand)

Asia (Collapse)

row 1: Malaysia | ...

row 2 Japan

Hope this helps...If co could you click the "This Helped Me" button so others could find it easily?

(BTW...There are no stupid questions, especially here! The Community was instrumental in helping me learn Jira and Confluence, and we all have to start somewhere. Case in point, I didn't know whether collapsing rows in tables was possible or not, your question prompted me to figure out a way to do it so I leaned something today too.)

It can be coded... but sadly I'm not a programmer so I don't know how :(
