Hello!
I want to create a page on Confluence.

In the bottom of this page I want to have 1 table.

And I want to show this table from different sections of this page.

Is it possible?

For example:

____________________________________________________
Section 1

...some content...
----> show bottom-table
...some content...
Section 2
...some content...
----> show bottom-table
...some content...
Section 3
...some content...
----> show bottom-table
...some content...

Section 4
...bottom-table...

Hi @Viacheslav 

Welcome to the community.

I am not fully clear about your requirement. 

If you are trying to get all columns/rows from a table from page A to page B, I would request you to try Excerpt and Exceprt-Include macros. 

1. In first page, Add Excerpt macro and inside that create your table. As shown in image below

2. Add exceprt-Include macro in Page B. Edit exceprt-Include macro in the page B and in section "Page Containing the Excerpt" mention page A

uncheck "Remove Surrounding Panel" if you dont want to see pageA heading in pageB

3. You can copy same macro and add it in your required sections. Example in attached image.

and about Excerpt Include Macrohttps://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/excerpt-include-macro-148067.html

If this is what you were looking, please accept the answer.

@Rilwan Ahmed would there be an option to include only part of the original excerpt-we have a table with all the assets and I would need to include only the assets used for each system in their pages

No, the standard Excerpt/Excerpt Include macros don't have such feature. You'll need a 3rd party app for such case.

Hi @Viacheslav

I am Nikita from Stiltsoft.

Our add-on Table Filter and Chart includes the macros, specially developed to meet your needs in full - they are Table Excerpt & Table Excerpt Include.

The Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include macros combine different kinds of table excerption and multi-excerption in one tool, allowing you to pick any table and any place to plant it as an excerpt.

It works well with any version of Confluence: Cloud, Data Center, and Server.
