Hi everyone, I’m the Sales Coordinator, and every week I’m working with large CSV exports of around 5000 rows—customer, product, and region data—that I need to present neatly in Confluence. I’d like an app that: * Lets me group by multiple columns (e.g. ‘Region’ + ‘Product Line’) * Automatically calculates sums and averages in the footer for each group Optional: * Run on Atlassian (ROA) compatibility: desired Bonus points: * Custom calculated columns: let me add a “Price” column and then compute a new “Total Value” column by multiplying Price × Product * Offers a more compact table view (adjustable cell padding or spacing) so I can see more rows on one screen Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Can I import a CSV into Confluence and apply grouping with sums/averages?

HI @Maria Jones

Suggestion is Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence

Maria Jones_0rc0p0

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-, thanks for the quick response!

Do you know if Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence (or any other app you’d recommend) is Run on Atlassian compliant?

In the company where I work, we’re migrating all our apps to the new Run on Atlassian framework and security is a top priority for us. Any pointers on ROA-compatible table apps would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks again!

Marc -Devoteam-

Hi @Maria Jones

ROA means working on Atlassian.

Yes it does, this app is on the Atlassian Marketplace so it's compatible.

Suggestion I made is an app from the marketplace. not a product that will not work with Atlassian.

Maria Jones_0rc0p0

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-, thanks again for clarifying that ROA means “Runs on Atlassian.” Under the new framework apps must enforce zero data egress, so security is non-negotiable for us. I’ve downloaded Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets and it covers some of my needs, but I’m not sure our security team will approve it for installation.

I’ve also come across ROA-compliant app, AURA Table Filter for Confluence. Are you familiar with this one? Would you recommend it for grouping with sums/averages and a compact view in Confluence?

Thanks!

Hi @Maria Jones ,

Make sure to check Confluence Databases: https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/databases

Although it may not have all the features you're looking for, it is a native feature that runs entirely in the Atlassian Cloud.

Also, you can import CSV files and embed them on pages for reference.

Hope this helps! =]

Hi @Maria Jones,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Why not using the Excel macro available in Confluence:

Open your CSV in Excel
Prepare the data to be displayed (e.g. a pivot table based on the raw CSV data) and save it as an Excel file
Upload the Excel file to your Confluence page
Add the Excel macro to the Confluence page

Configure it to display the content of the uploaded Excel file

As a a result, the page will display the data from the Excel file

Hi @Danut M _StonikByte_

From what I can see, the Office Excel macro in Confluence embeds a view of the spreadsheet (sheet tabs, HTML rendering) but doesn’t provide interactive grouping/pivots on the page. You’d need to create the grouping/pivot inside the Excel file itself and then embed it; Confluence will just display the result.

It does preserve formulas that already exist in the attached Excel file (the macro maintains the file’s formatting and formulas), but formulas aren’t edited or created inside Confluence—the file must be updated in Excel.

Appreciate the help and the welcome!

Maria Jones_0rc0p0

Thanks, @Thiago P _Atlassian Support_! I’m familiar with Confluence Databases and really like the direction they’re heading. For this use case, though, they don’t quite give me the flexibility I need right now—so great potential, but a bit short for the moment. I’ll keep an eye on them as they evolve.

Hi @Mia Tamm _Simpleasyty_

Thanks for the super clear rundown!

I installed Simple Table and did a first pass with a ~500-row CSV. It worked perfectly: grouped by Region + Product Line, saw the AVG badges per group and the SUM in the footer, created a calculated “Total Value” (Price × Quantity) without fuss, and the ROA/zero-egress model ticks our security box. This basically covers what our team needs.

We also tried a larger file (~10,000 rows). It eventually rendered fine, but we didn’t get any feedback while the table was being generated after configuration—looked like it might’ve stalled, then completed. Do you have guidance on the CSV size/row limits you support, and could a loading/progress indicator be added for big datasets?

One more: on #5 (compact view), do you have an ETA for dense/adjustable padding? Any temporary workaround to show more rows on screen in the meantime?

Thanks again—this is looking like the way we’ll go.

Hi @Maria Jones sorry my English is not so good; I am Japanese. I copy-paste this from Japanese to English, so maybe some wrong words.

We use Simple Table for very similar case (big CSV with customer/product/region). It lets us group by multi columns, show sums/average in the footer, and add calculated columns like Price × Quantity. I didn’t know this app before (maybe new in Marketplace), but @Mia Tamm _Simpleasyty_ kindly guide us for setup and it was smooth. Very robust and honestly surprising it is free. Our company would pay for this if it become paid.

Mia Tamm _Simpleasyty_

Hi @Maria Jones ,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback — it’s great to hear you were able to set up grouping, aggregations, and calculated columns so smoothly. I’m especially glad the ROA/zero-egress model fits your security requirements.

On large datasets (~10k rows), Simple Table can technically handle them, but processing time depends on both the file size and the complexity of the configuration (e.g., grouping + multiple calculated columns). I agree that a loading/progress indicator would improve the experience, and this is something already on our roadmap for large-file scenarios.

Regarding #5 (compact view), adjustable padding is also planned. I have great news. I just talked with the Dev team and next week we will have something in production. Stay Tuned!

Thanks again for testing with both small and large files — feedback like yours really helps us refine Simple Table for real-world use cases.

Thank you, @Emi Sato! I’m glad Simple Table worked well for your use case and that the setup was smooth. It’s great to hear your team is finding value in it. that’s exactly what we aim for.
