Is there a way to automatically update data from one table to another without overwriting history??

Hello,

I have a table that is updated on a weekly basis on one Confluence page. I would like to have the weekly data that is updated in that table automatically updated into another table on another page without having the previous data overwritten. Essentially, I want the "weekly" data updated into a table so that the historical updates are preserved even once the data from the original table gets overwritten. Is this even possible? To further complicate matters, the formatting of the fields would not be identical between both pages - adjustments would have to be made to the table formatting. 

I've reviewed the "Table Excerpt" and "Table Excerpt Include", but, I'm not sure whether those Macros are what I'm looking for.

Any help/advise/suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi @Silvia Beale

The Table Excerpt and Table Excerpt Include macros help you to reuse tables. You make changes to the source table and get updates to the same multiple tables across your Confluence instance.

The historical updates are not preserved somewhere besides standard Confluence page versions. So, it's only partly your case.
