Hi there, I am creating a Confluence page, and I saw that there is a macro that allows you to insert a page already existing, within your current page. But I failed to see if there is any possibility to insert only a table from that external page (the external page is also a confluence page). I tried using anchor links but the macro does not recognize them. Any idea? Thanks!
Try Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include. They are dynamic references to the original table/ page.
Enjoy!
Ryan
That worked just smoothly! thank you very much :)

@Ryan Fish, looking at the documentation, this seems to only work with reference a table on the same page.
You will be able to reference the marked table by inserting the Table Excerpt Include macro (on the same page only) and entering the specified unique name.
Is that correct?

Yes, that's correct, @Bill Bailey. You can use Excerpt and Excerpt Include macros in order to include tables from other pages.

OK, good idea to update the docs, then. ;-)

I do not see "Table Excerpt" as a selectable or searchable option. I only see Excerpt. Using regular Excerpt does not seem to work, I lose my table formatting when copying it into the Excerpt area.

@Matthew Howard, you need to install the Table Filter and Charts app to get the Table Excerpt macro.

Is there a way to do this without a 3rd party app/plugin?

As mentioned above you can use the Excerpt Macro and the Excerpt Include Macro to mark and fetch content from another page.
There are some constraints you may only overcome with a third-party app, but if you have one content on a page (which may contain a table) you want to render on another page, it should work.
