Hi @preeti arun ,

We can suggest trying our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app and its Table Filter macro.

The macro allows you to freeze first N rows/columns and specify the table height - so your headers, for example, will be always sticky and you'll get a vertical scroll bar.

Or you may also use pagination - this feature is also provided by the Table Filter macro. You can choose how many rows you want to display at once and your big table will be automatically adjusted to look neat and easy-to-read.

I have used table filter for a  sticky header but I don't want vertical scroll bar (for table). I would like to show all the table rows per page.

I did try pagination option , I am able to show the entire table rows per page (with vertical scroll bar) but I am not getting sticky header. If we are providing the value for rows to be freeze pagination option is ignored and I see vertical scroll bar for viewing the all rows of table.

That is a correct behavior for the macro - I think I've misunderstood your original post. The case is to make big tables smaller and easy-to-read. But if you don't need vertical scrollbars, your should set the table height as a really big number or not to use any macros at all.

Hi @preeti arun can you please share a screenshot of what vertical scrollbars are you seeing on tables ? On confluence server, you can choose Fixed width mode if you want to drag column borders to set width. Columns appear at your set size, regardless of content and window size.
