 * Hi there,
 * I have a question whether one can selectively represent the tables in the side
   as well. We have a table with three columns A, B, C in the B column is for example
   one or two. I would now like to illustrate on one side only rows with the contents
   of 1 column B and on another page where only what is in column B of Contents 
   2. Does it work? What should I do?
 * Hallo zusammen,
 * ich habe eine Frage, ob man die Tabellen in der Seite auch selektiv darstellen
   kann. Wir haben eine Tabelle mit drei Spalten A,B,C in der Spalte B steht zum
   Beispiel eine 1 oder zwei. Ich würde jetzt gerne auf der einen Seite nur Zeilen
   mit dem Inhalt 1 aus Spalte B darstellen und auf einer anderen Seite nur welche
   wo in Spalte B der Inhalt 2 ist. Funktioniert das ? Was muss ich dafür tun?
 * Gruß
    Micha

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, for that, you can use the Row Filtering Extension from [http://tablepress.org/extensions/row-filter/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/row-filter/)

 * Thank you for the super quick reply. Does it have to be installed as a normal
   plugin? Is then searched in all columns or only in one?

 * Hi,
 * yes, you’ll have to install it as a regular plugin, and then add the parameter
   to the Shortcode. With the extra parameter
 *     ```
       filter_columns="1,2"
       ```
   
 * you can specify which columns shall be searched.

 * Hi,
 * sure:
 *     ```
       [table id=123 filter="2" filter_columns="2" /]
       ```
   
 * should display only those rows of table 123 that have the value “2” in the second
   column.

 * Hi,
 * I test it with [table id=11 filter=”m-jugend-2003-3″ filter_columns=”9″ /] it
   shows the table but it is not filtering 🙁
 * What can be the Problem? Where can I see if the Admin install Table Row Filtering
   Extension 1.2 ? Is it possible to show only column 1 2 3 5 7 9 ?

 * Hi,
 * did you install and activate the TablePress Extension from [http://tablepress.org/extensions/row-filter/](http://tablepress.org/extensions/row-filter/)
   as a WordPress plugin? That is mandatory for this Shortcode parameter to work.
   Please check this on the “Plugins” page of WordPress.
 * Hiding some of the columns is also possible. Either hide them on the “Edit” screen
   by selecting the checkboxes below them and then use the “Selected columns: Hide”
   button, or hide them with the Shortcode parameter like:
 *     ```
       [table id=11 hide_columns=4,6,8 /]
       ```

 * New question 🙂
    I use the standard TablePress, is it possible to show only the
   field E from line ID 15 of table 11 in a page? What must I do for this?

 * Hi,
 * so you basically just want to extract the content of a single cell? Then this
   TablePress Extension should offer what you need 🙂
