Is there a macro that displays the values in one table based on the other, subsequent page's tables?
Asked by S H:

I have a page that has a top table with columns:

Master Table

Task Category \|Task #\| Comments

Sensor \| \|

Communication \| \|

Interface \| \|

Note: content in between the \| \| above should ideally be a hyperlink Task # that will go to the subsequent table's location.

The subsequent tables have different data points but they will have a Task Category and a Task # column. The Task # column will have sequential, unique numbers. If a line items in any of the tables has Sensor for its Task Category value, then those line items' Task # should populate in the Master Table - ideally with a hyperlink to bring the viewer to the Task #'s table.

please advise if this makes sense and any possible solutions - thanks

As I understand, **the first step** of your case is to collect data from mini-tables on different pages to one big master table. For this purpose use the standard Confluence macros - [Page Properties and Page Properties Report](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiJ43YlminU). Note that your mini-table should contain only one row.

The result big table will contain all the mini-tables you've got - each row stands for your mini-table. The first column with Page Names will contain links to the corresponding pages with mini-tables. The column Task Category may be empty and may be not - you'll see everything as it was in the mini-tables.

So **the second step** is to filter your table to leave only rows with a populated Task Category field (with a Sensor value or whatever you need).

For this purpose install the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview) app and wrap your Page Properties Report macro in the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Filter+macro) macro.

Now you can set the required filters - if somebody populates the Task Category field with the Sensor value in the corresponding mini-table, all the changes will be reflected in the filtered master table dynamically.
