How to Automate an In-line figure/Stat in Confluence?

Ahmad Mayar

How can I automate an inline data point so that when I edit the source point, all other pages/spaces in Confluence update the same point automatically?

For instance, updating a stat/data point in a chart could automatically update the same stat/data point in all spaces or all Google doc/docs - embedded in Confluence.

@Ahmad Mayar Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

What you are looking for is the Excerpt and Excerpt Include Macro. The excerpt is the source. The excerpt include is the embedding of that source on each page where you need the same text or data points. By updating the excerpt, all pages referencing it will update as well.

Here is the documenation: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-include-macro/

Also, I'll move this question from the Questions for Confluence collection to the Confluence Questions collection. Questions for Confluence is an Atlassian owned and operated app, not the location to post general questions about Confluence.

Hi @Andy Gladstone,

Thank you for suggesting Excerpt macro, but I am afraid it didn't work with what I want or perhaps I could not use it properly.

However, I am looking for a function to help me keep my data tables automated.

I have a table of numeric figures, for example, and when I update a number in one table. it should update the same figure/number in all child-pages so I don't have to go and update the same number across all pages and contents manually.

Thanks!

@Ahmad Mayar what you are looking for is not natively supported in Confluence. However, there is a marketplace partner K15t that has Orderly Databases for Confluence that may address your need. Tagging a few team members there to get in touch with you - @Max Förster _K15t_ @Matthias Gaiser _K15t_ @Matt Reiner _K15t_

Good luck!
