Automatically transferring data from one table to another

    I love your plugin! Makes life so much easier. I don’t have an example on my site yet, but I will eventually.

    I am trying to save myself a little work. If I have one table that has multiple columns (10) of data that I show on a page, is it possible to have a second table that can draw the data from the first table, but only show (for example) Columns 1 and 5? Is there a code I could put in each cell that would tell it to pull data from Table 43, Column 2, Row 6?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Yes, and for this you don’t even need a second table. You could simply show the smaller version of the table by adding extra parameters to the Shortcode.
    To show the full table, you use, as usual,

    [table id=123 /]

    To show just a few columns:

    [table id=123 hide_columns=all show_columns=1,5 /]

    To re-use the content of a single cell somewhere, you can use the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-cell-shortcode/

    Regards,
    Tobias
