How can I filter nested tables

Casey Maynard

Page 1 - Has table of Name, Version, Date, Status, that is wrapped with an Excerpt

Page 2 - Has a master table of over 300 pages that have a Excerpt Include for all those Page 1 type pages, the master table is wrapped with an Excerpt (no filters)

Page 3 - Has an excerpt include of Page 3 that filters only the Status from Page 1

 

But I cannot seem to figure out how to layout this to work

The best way is to wrap each nested table with Table Excerpt macro and then place Table Excerpt Include macro referencing those excerpts inside Table Filter macro.

Thanks.  I figured out my confusion over how this worked.  By placing the Table Excerpt Include inside a Table Filter Macro, it made the page look like the Macro was attached to the Original Table (which it technically is).  My confusion was that I was expecting the Table Excerpt Include to 'act' like the Excerpt Include and reproduce the table within the Table Filter.  And the Hide option for the Table Excerpt would have hidden the Original Table.  So in a sense, the layout you provide works almost exactly opposite of how I had anticipated.

Unfortunately the issue that I am trying to resolve is I have multiple pages that use this same table and each page has a separate output option.

Is there any solution for displaying the outputs of multiple Table Filters onto different pages?

This case is not trivial and I don't know a solution, but maybe you need something like Reporting add-on.

I may have found a solution but it is not perfect.  I will update this with an answer once I figure out how document the steps.
