How to get data from a table stored on a wiki page?

Question

I want to create a table on a WIKI page containing data and then pull data out of this table to use on other WIKI pages within the same space. I have created my table page using the table-data macro but cannot figure out how to pull data from it.

Anyone know how to do this or have a reference they can point me to?

Thanks!

Hello Randall,

There are Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include macros in the Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app which could help you in this case.

Here's an example on how to use them:

1. Wrap your source table with Table Excerpt.

2. Insert the Table Excerpt Include macro on another page and configure it.

Result: the same table are ready for filtering, building charts, pivot tables and transformation on another WIKI page.

Please use our documentation to get more info about our app.

I think you're trying to do something that Confluence/static HTML is not meant to do.

That being said, are you sure you can't use jQuery? It's built in by default. If you have the HTML macro enabled, you can use it.

When I try to use jQuery by putting {jQuery} on page, I get an unknown macro message.  Not listed in macros I can insert either when using rich text edit mode with toolbar.
