Hello everyone!

I recently discovered the "Database" macro in Confluence, and I really like it! However, I’m running into one small issue:

Initially, I misunderstood the "+" button under "Edit views." I thought it worked like adding multiple sheets in Excel, but I now realize it’s for changing the view or setup of the same data instead.

Is there a way to enable functionality similar to Excel’s multiple sheets within Confluence, either with the Database macro or another tool?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions or advice!

Hey ya!

That’s an interesting use case, and I totally get why having something like Excel’s multiple sheets within Confluence would be helpful. While the Database macro doesn’t offer that functionality for now, BUT you could achieve it with Excel-Like Tables for Confluence.

We’re also exploring ways to improve the app further, so it’s always interesting to hear how different tools are being used. Are you working with separate data sets or grouping related data on different "tabs"? this plugin lets you work with multiple sheets inside a single embedded spreadsheet, which could help keep everything organized on your Confluence page ... and you could benefit more with the excel features like formulas, conditional formatting, charts or pivot table.

Let me know if this is something you are looking for.

Kind regards

This functionality would round out our project management needs if we want to centralize our data and information in Confluence.  I vote for this enhancement!

Hi @Rio ,

If you are open to 3rd party apps, you may check our Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets for Confluence app and its Table Spreadsheet macro.

Please book a call with our team - we'll show how to work with Basic Excel-like features (several tabs, cell formulas, filtration, pivot tables, conditional formatting, etc.) live.
