We’re excited to introduce a brand‑new way to bring your Excel‑like Tables for Confluence data to life: Excerpt Macros! 🎉
With this release, you can now reuse your excel table data anywhere in Confluence without duplicating or manually copying information.
Whether you need to highlight a single key metric, display a chart on a status page, or share a live table snippet in a team dashboard, the new excerpt macros make it effortless.
What’s new?
You can now pull data from your tables in three flexible ways:
1. Single Cell Excerpt
Highlight a single KPI or value from your table. Surface metrics like budget totals, project completion percentages, or key deadlines instantly.
2. Range Excerpt
Display a specific range of rows or columns from your table. Share just the relevant data like top‑priority items or summarized lists, without overwhelming your page.
3. Chart Excerpt
Showcase a live chart from your table anywhere. Perfect for dashboards, reports, and high‑level overviews.
✨ Why you’ll love it
- One source of truth: Data updates in your original table automatically update everywhere the excerpt appears.
- Cleaner pages: No need to copy and paste large tables, just surface what’s important.
- Smarter workflows: Create dashboards, status pages, or executive summaries without reinventing the wheel.
