We can suggest trying our app - [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud).

There are two options how to achieve your case:

**Option one.** Use your original Excel file, connect it to your Confluence page via our [Table from CSV](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+from+CSV+macro) macro, add additional columns with the help of the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro and filter the result combined report using the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro.

**Option two.** Exclude Excel from your workflow and perform all the required operations using the [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Spreadsheet+macro) macro that is a fully functional spreadsheet right on your Confluence page.

Maybe you'll be interested in a live demo from our team - please book a suitable [time slot here](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2022-01) and we'll be happy to show you similar use cases.

As this question mentions 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) app, we are happy to introduce its new macro -- [Table Spreadsheet](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Spreadsheet+macro?utm_source=atl_community).

The macro allows you to work with fully functional Excel spreadsheets right in Confluence.

You'll be able to use cells' formulas, filters, conditional formatting, etc., create pivot tables and charts from the page view and edit mode.

Although [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) does present a solution, I wanted to post to let you know that the use case you are looking for is NOT supported natively in Confluence and would require the use of a Marketplace App.

Hope you find the best fit for your organization!
