    Hello,

    Thanks for this awesome plugin.

    Here is my question.
    I frequently need to use data from tables in other tables.

    As of now, I’m using the single cell shortcode, but I feel like that’s not ideal. I’d rather be able to say “show me the cell in column 1 of the row where “X” appears in table “Y””, than having to state exactly which row or cell I’m using.

    Let’s say I have a table like this :

    table X
    a | b | identifierword

    I’d like to be able to do something like this in another table :

    table Y
    c | d | [table-cell = column1 of where identifierword appears]

    which would display :
    c | d | a

    I’m sorry if this has been asked or answered already or if I’m missing something simple, I haven’t managed to find something about it. Thanks a lot.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I don’t have a readily usable solution for this. Due to how TablePress works internally, it’s not currently possible to query individual values like that. Sorry 🙁

    Regards,
    Tobias
