Convert regular table into Table Spreadsheet.

The Spreadsheet from Table macro allows you to convert your regular table or table outputting macro's content into a spreadsheet.

To turn your source table into an Excel-like sheet, insert the Spreadsheet from Table macro on the page and copy/paste your table (either manually created or macro generated) inside its body. Then you may open the macro once more or publish your page and return to the view mode - you'll see your data in the spreadsheet. 

On Confluence Cloud, you can also add the Spreadsheet from Table macro live using the quick insert option:

  1. Click the More actions (⋯) menu in the top-right corner of the page.
  2. Go to Apps → Use Table Filter App Macros.
  3. Choose the required preset and follow the dialog.


The interface, tools, and features will be the same as in the Table Spreadsheet macro. But the difference is that the Table Spreadsheet macro is bodiless, so, you won't be able to wrap anything in it.

Info

Spreadsheet from Table will create a separate sheet for each source table/table outputting macro within its body.

NOTE: The content of Spreadsheet from Table is dynamic , thus will change in its corresponding cell range every time the source table/-s are updated.

Tip

Copy&paste the source cell range elsewhere in the current sheet or copy an entire sheet to create a static replica of your source table in the Spreadsheet from Table macro.
