Make Confluence tables useful for displaying numerical data
Out of the box, Confluence tables are just aesthetic. You can use them to present static numerical data in a nice, easy-to-read format. But they’re no good if you want to manipulate, sort, or calculate any of that data. The only way your numbers will change is if you manually change them.
This is why Confluence users who want to present numerical data on a Confluence page have to use a Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets spreadsheet to process it first. Then they have to copy and paste the values back into their Confluence tables. This is a pain.
With Inline Table Editing, you can perform simple or complex calculations directly in a Confluence table. The macro supports the operators and syntax used in popular spreadsheet solutions, and comes with almost 400 built-in functions, from math to financial to logical. These enable you to work as intuitively and efficiently as you can in Excel.
