You can use the Table Excerpt Include macro withing one page without showing the source table within in combination with the Pivot Table macro and the Chart from Table macro macros because a pivot table and a chart can be built without displaying a source table. On the other hand, if you want to use the Table Excerpt Include macro within one page in combination with the Table Filter macro you shouldneed to select the "Show copy of source table" checkbox because this macro requires a table for its correct work. |
