Can portions of tables be shared between pages?
Asked by Louidgie Theoret:

So I have 2 pages in confluence: confluence page A will contain a table with n columns, I need confluence page B to contain the first 4 columns of the table found in page A, BUT I also need to add new columns to this table in confluence page B.

Is this possible?

You may try the app that we develop - [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).

The macro sequence may be as following:

* On the page A you have an original A-table with n columns wrapped in the [Table Excerpt](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-excerpt-and-table-excerpt-include-macros-42241623.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro
* On the page B you place the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-toolbox-macro-42245927.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro if your hosting is Cloud or nest macros directly for Server/Data Center
  * You reuse your A-table with n columns with the help of the Table Excerpt Include macro
  * You wrap the Table Excerpt Include macro in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-filter-macro-42239756.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro and hide the unwanted columns (use the "Hide columns" feature) - here appears your B-table that contains the first 4 columns of the A-table
  * You add a C-table (some new columns that you want to add to the B-table) and lookup your tables with the help of the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-transformer-macro-42241552.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro by the unique (key) column

Maybe it sounds difficult if you are not familiar with the app but the structure is rather simple. We'll be happy to organize a live demo for you - please book a suitable time slot [here](https://calendly.com/tablefilter/live-demo?month=2023-08).

You may also attach a link to this question, so we'll know about what use case you want to hear.

You can use built-in Confluence macros for that:

- [Include Page macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-include-page-macro/) for sharing the whole page

- [E](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-macro/)[xcerpt macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-excerpt-macro/) for part of the page (like in your case, only area with table)

Let me know does this work for you

Recommend trying things out first from this community [post](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-Cloud-articles/How-to-Work-With-Tables-in-Confluence-Cloud/ba-p/1718038). And explore more macros from [here](https://www.atlassian.com/blog/add-ons/best-practices-for-tables-in-confluence).   

Hope the above helps!
