How to export the table in Confluence page to Excel/CSV?
Asked by Arvind:

Hello Team,

I have a confluence page with text and a table, I would like to export only the table to my local in the form of Excel/CSV for further verification. Is there any direct way to do the same?

<br />

I found that there are a few extensions which are recommended in [other answers](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/I-want-to-export-a-confluence-table-into-excel-I-have-tried/qaq-p/1491786) but they are all paid ones. Not sure if they were free during the time of posting and later changed to paid.

1. [Table Exporter for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1222158/table-exporter-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing)

2. [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=pricing)

3. [Others](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=table%20export)

As I work in corporate I do not think belongs to the free tier, can you please let me know if there is a way to export only the table to Excel/CSV using some direct approach or using the free extensions?


Answers:
author: Arvind
body: Posting the workaround as it can be helpful to someone in the future.  

I could not find any direct way or Confluence extension way to extract the table from the Confluence page. So I tried the other way i.e. using some extension from Google Chrome browser to extract the table on the web page and to my surprise, it worked perfectly.

I used the [Table Capture](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/table-capture/iebpjdmgckacbodjpijphcplhebcmeop?hl=en) extension from the Chrome website which works perfectly for my requirement. Hope it helps someone :)


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: The simplest thing you can try is to directly copy/paste the table. Be aware, that this only sometimes works.

comments: author: Arvind
body: [@marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1205132) Thanks a lot I have tried this but it does not work as intended.

Just to confirm:  
There is no direct export option available in Confluence right? We have to rely on extensions right?


author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Yes, to export you'd need an extension.


author: Arvind
body: [@marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1205132) Thanks a lot. I tried the Google Chrome extension Table Capture and it worked perfectly for me :)

Migrating the users into confluence cloud
Asked by SaravanaKumar:

What happens when we try to migrate the users who are already added to the cloud site manually?  
Do it overwrites the user permissions or it does not migrate the users with the same name/email id there by duplicating it?


Answers:
author: Kerli Loopman
body: Users with same email addresses will be merged and the ones that are not present with their email in Cloud will be created (without access to products). If you give them product access, then they will see all the things they have permission to see. I would double check all spaces permissions anyway.

I believe that the ones you already have in cloud and will be merged, will have all the permissions that they have in old + new one with their name and I think that the groups that they had before + the migrated groups. Not sure about that though cause I didn't migrate old groups.

Send Jira attachment via REST post request to an another application
Asked by Aswin Dharmaraj:

I want to send all the issue attachments to an external service via REST post call. Any scripts this can be achieved?. Simply I want to send the attachments when in an issue attachments were added. The endpoints already provided by the external team need to send the form-date as files. Anyone please help me on this.


Answers:
author: Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_
body: Hi [@Aswin Dharmaraj](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4406357)

Could you please clarify what is the external service you are referring to? Is it Confluence?

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram

comments: author: Aswin Dharmaraj
body: External service its a stand alone application if we create a jira issue same will be created in that application. we need to send the attachment updates to then using the REST end point they provided. But we are stuck with the scripts that to get the attachments from jira and send via a http request.


author: Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_
body: Hi [@Aswin Dharmaraj](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4406357)

If you intend to send a REST Request (whether it is GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE) to an external service, you need to do something like this example provided in the [Adaptavist Library](https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/using-external-apis-in-sr).

Using the REST Endpoint will not work for this. You could, however, try with the Listener, i.e. using the Issue Updated event.

I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram

position of a character in the string
Asked by Rachi Manwal:

I was trying to find the position of a character from a string but didn't find any function for the same. Like, in SQL we have charIndex and in MySql there is Position function


Answers:
author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Rachi Manwal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5036129) ,

Please clarify what app/macro are you using for the case?

If we are talking about our [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app and its [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro, you may try the following query:

comments: author: Rachi Manwal
body: Thank you [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) , I am using the Table Transformer macro. Could you let me know any resource where I could find these functions. I am a bit confused, is this not totally sql?


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Yes, you are right - it's a bit of JavaScript provided by our developers.

The JavaScript methods in general are documented [here](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/General+syntax+and+SQL+functions+available#GeneralsyntaxandSQLfunctionsavailable-JavaScriptmethods?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111), but if you have any specific case that is not very common and is not documented, you may raise a [support request](https://jsd.stiltsoft.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/2) (the portal is confidential), attach a screenshot of your original table with a visible header row and describe what you need to achieve - our engineers will provide you with a corresponding query.


author: Rachi Manwal
body: okay, thank you!!


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Rachi Manwal](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5036129) ,

Another hint from our developers - in the AlaSQL query on which our Table Transformer macro is based, it's INSTR function:

SELECT \*,  
INSTR(T1.'String to find',"new") AS 'Position'  
FROM T1

The output for my example table will be 11 and 16 respectively. Here you may correct the output by +/-1: the indexOf function begins to count from 0 (so we got 10 and 15), the INSTR function - from 1. So here comes the difference.

Apply multiple labels at once to a page
Asked by Nicki Schermann:

I have a spreadsheet specifying which labels should be applied to which pages within our Confluence space. Each page requires multiple labels. I thought that in the past I was able to copy these multiple labels (just separated by spaces) and paste them in to the 'add label' field and they would be recognised as multiple labels. But lately when I've been doing this, it's been recognising the list I paste in as one long label with dashes being inserted in where the spaces were. Has something changed with this recently? Is there a better way to input multiple labels simultaneously?

Users we invite dont have access, but then they do!
Asked by Sonja Altmann:

We invite users who are external to our company to view our Confluence Content.

Most of the time it works perfectly.

Some users, however, When they try and log in it says:  
Try a different account

\<email\> doesnt have access to confluence on \<site\>

If they click the Log in to another account, put the exact same information in, it will log them in fine.

Can anyone give me some idea why this would be?

Cheers

Sonja


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: Not exactly sure, but I would guess that these users already have an Atlassian account registered with their email. By clicking "Log into another account", they log in with their existing account.

Editing restrictions of my page within my group
Asked by perumalvi:

I have created a page and i have unrestriced access \[ No restrictions - Everyone can view and edit this page \].

But my team members complain they are not able to edit the page even if i set to this option.

Is there something else i need to look up to . so that they can edit my page for a collaborative access ?


Answers:
author: Rilwan Ahmed
body: Hi [@perumalvi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5050751) ,

Welcome to the community !!

1. If it's just one page, it could be Page Restrictions added to the parent page as said by [@Trudy Claspill](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3569011)Please check if the parent pages have any kind of restrictions added. Child pages inherit permissions from the parent page.
2. If they don't have edit access on any other pages, then you need to check Space settings --\>**Manage permissions
   Add Page**gives permission to create new pages and edit existing pages in the space. There is no separate Edit page access.

You can read about Space permissions [here](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html)

Glad that our suggestion solved your problem. Please accept the answer so that user with similar problem finds it useful.


author: perumalvi
body: Thanks Rilwan and Trudy ...

After changing the restrictions on the parent page , my team mates are able to edit it...

I dint know the inheritance has preference even when we are able to edit on the child page.

Thanks,

Vijay


author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@perumalvi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5050751)

Welcome to the community.

Is you page inheriting restrictions from its parent page?

Are your teammates logged in to Confluence, or accessing the page without logging in?

Do your teammates see the Edit option on the page at all?

Why am I not seeing the space's page tree in the sidebar?
Asked by Robert Lauriston:

My pages are ordered like this:

![Screen Shot 2022-10-10 at 3.33.51 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/219964iAD22CB24845F99C7/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2022-10-10 at 3.33.51 PM.png")

I have Tree View selected in the sidebar, but I see random pages instead of the tree:

![Screen Shot 2022-10-10 at 3.34.11 PM.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/219965iAD1DED8FF915BE4C/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2022-10-10 at 3.34.11 PM.png")


Answers:
author: Trudy Claspill
body: Hello [@Robert Lauriston](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/541077)

Typically there is some sort of "home page" for the space, and that home page is root of the tree with all other pages being under it, as shown here. The tree under that home page is what shows in the Tree View for Pages.

![Screen Shot 2022-10-10 at 5.02.25 PM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/219992i47FD567A02F14BE5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2022-10-10 at 5.02.25 PM.png")

I haven't tried removing the root "home page" to see how that changes the page tree display.

The pages that you see with the gray "DRAFT" status next to them are pages that you started in the space but never Published. Those will also show up in the Tree View, as shown in my image above. That is a feature called [Findable Drafts](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-articles/Introducing-Findable-Drafts-a-better-way-to-start-pause-and/ba-p/2045347). That same page explains how to delete drafts.

What might I need to check to help resolve this issue for them?

Why is there not a way in Cloud to work off of Office 365 like on prem?
Asked by Nikki DuBois:

We need to have a good way to collaborate on a word doc or excel and with this feature not moved to the cloud it makes it hard to adopt confluence. Why is this not part of the cloud if it is on prem?


Answers:
author: Harald Seyr
body: Hi [@Nikki DuBois](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4630435) ,

also please consider using M365 / Sharepoint when working with documents. If your style of collaboration is to share documents, then Confluence is not the right tool for you.

Documents (word, excel, ppt) =\> MS world, Sharepoint

Wiki / pages / linked information =\> Confluence

Mixing those two worlds is probably a combination of disadvantages, not advantages.

Regards,

Harald

Trusted Domains not working with Companion App
Asked by James Fenton:

Hi there,

I've add my company intranet as a trusted domain when testing the deployment of the Atlassian Companion App. However, when I go to edit an attachment in Confluence, I am still prompted to trust the url. How should I be getting rid of this trust prompt?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Alex K
body: Hi [@James Fenton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5048336) ,

Which method are you using to set the trusted domains?

See [Administering the Companion app](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/administering-the-atlassian-companion-app-958456281.html) , section "Set trusted domains". Which version of Companion are you using?

comments: author: James Fenton
body: Hi [@Alex K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1882108) ,

Thanks for your response. I am using the same method outline in the documentation you sent. I can actually even see the applied url/trusted domain listed as a Windows Environment Variable, but I still get the prompt. I am attempting to deploy version 1.4.1.

Thanks,

James


author: Alex K
body: Could you please right click the Companion taskbar icon, and click "View logs", then open the companion.log file? Then do you see a log that begins with:

```
Initialise whitelist hostname from Environment Variable:
```

Could you make sure that looks fine? The next step will be to enable debug logs and check that there is no error loading the domain, however this is slightly more complex, we can do it here but it may be preferable to go through support.


author: James Fenton
body: I've found that log and it looks fine to me. If you have step-by-step instructions, I'm fine to follow the next step here. If I need to go through support, that's fine too. Please let me know what works.

Thanks!


author: Alex K
body: [@James Fenton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5048336) Okay, we need to enable debug logging temporarily and then check the logs related to the trusted domains. If you find the Companion install directory, for you because it's the MSI it will be in Program Files (x86). Then within the Resources sub directory, there will be a companionConfig.json file. You need to change logLevel to "debug".  

Then restart companion. We are looking for the logs, either:

"... is not valid and will be skipped"  
or  
"Init hostNameSettings:"


author: Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_
body: Hi [@James Fenton](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5048336) ,

Companion has been discontinued from a while ( <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/administering-the-atlassian-companion-app-958456281.html> ) so my suggestion is to avoid to use it.

This is possible, but you need to be on the [premium plan](https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/features?tab=premium-plan) in order to get access to Analytics.

Your other option would be to use [Google Analytics](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1216514/google-analytics-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), I haven't used it myself but I have heard from my users that have that it is not as good as Analytics that is included in premium.

Trello and Slack
Asked by Sheeja Kumar:

Hi ??,

I have linked my Slack \& Trello. It is working.

We have 8 boards in together.

When I add a card, it always goes to a particular board only.

Lets say I have Board 1, Board 2 \& Board 3 used by 3 different team members.

All the boards are linked.

What command should I give, if the card needs to be created under Board 2 in specific ?

Please help.


Answers:
author: Cody C.
body: This is a bit of a limitation with the Slack integration - right now, you can only link one board to a Slack channel at a time. If you want to create cards in different boards from that Channel, you would need to type /slack link \[board name\] to change which board is linked to that Channel, then type /trello add \[card name\] to add that new card.
