Hi @RItam Bose ,

The problem is in the new Cloud editor - everything will be working just fine if your instance is Server/Data Center.

Confluence Cloud doesn't allow macro nesting so you can't create sequences as Expand macro <- Table Filter macro <- table.

And because of this limitation the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app provides the Table Toolbox macro that allows you to wrap you tables into Table Filter, Pivot Table and Chart from Table subsequently. For Server/Data Center you'll be able to nest macros directly.

For your case we can suggest using the pagination option for your table instead of the Expand macro. Wrap your table into the Table Filter macro (you'll be able to filter your table if required) and switch on the pagination feature - your big table will look neat and not intimidating.

Hi

Issue is I need to use excerpt macro and inside that I need to place my table which will be feed to child page.

Now the moment I will try to use table filter inside excerpt macro it's coming out of excerpt block so it's not solving my purpose.
