Suggest a confluence reporting plugin

Question

I'd faced a problem where we need ti get flexible information based on some criteria from Confluence.

We installed Scaffolding + Reporting plugins, but due to its excessive complexity it is really hard to configure it. Are there other ways to extract and group the necessary information from different Confluecne pages?

Hello, Alex!

For any reporting calculations in Confluence, including any manipulations with table data on current or any other page, you may use CelesteCS Math for Confluence.

Assume you have a table with three columns and three rows on your page – from A1 till C3, where row 1 is the header row. The sum calculation formula for rows 2 and 3 will be simple:

SUM(Table1.A2:C3)

If the table is on another page, you just specify the source page in the macro parameters. Third-party macros, such as JIRA Issues are also supported to be used as operands.

There is a plenty of other functions in the macro, so you may perform any calculations using formulas in EXCEL style.

Thanks!

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention. We already have this one. the problem in using it is that it only transfers info from another page. Imagine that it is needed to make a whole table using this plugin. In reporting for example you can sort out info by certain criteria. ie. making reports flexible.

Or you need to run some aggregations and calculations?
