Is there a table size limit for using Table Filter?

[James Park]

I have a few thousand rows of table. Table Filter does not work and hangs maybe because Confluence cannot handle many rows of data in table. Is there any way around it?

There's not really a technical limit other than what your database can cope with, but as you've seen, a you run into performance and usability issues way way before you'll get close to any technical limit!

Confluence is a wiki, not a database, it's not intended for displaying vast amounts of lines of tables with data in them that your humans are never going to read.

Rather than worry about the performance of a page no-one will ever read, I'd suggest looking at what you're trying to achieve by putting thousands of rows in a table.  

What is the purpose of this table?  What are you trying to give to your users?  Why not start with a summary and link into drill-downs, rather than start with everything?

Hi @James Park ,

I assume this is a duplicate question for this thread - the Table Filter macro (and other macros related to the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app) doesn't have any specifically set limitations of the number of table rows/columns.

You have Confluence Cloud - there are several posts in the Community related to the slower page performance/loading time for Cloud instances in comparison with Server/Data Center. Does your page loads well while refreshing/entering the Edit mode without any additional macros? Maybe you should remove other page content (pictures, video snippets, etc.) from the page and leave just your table there.
