Populate cell with other cells content

    Hello Tobias and, first of all, thanks for your awesome plugin!
    In one of my projects, I’d like to have a cell dynamically populated with data from other cells of the same row (e.g. a string like “I like [col1] and [col2] but not [col3]” where [colx] is the content of the current row’s cell in column x).
    Is there a way I can do this?

    Thanks in advance and best regards.
    AC

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    For this, the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-cell-shortcode/ might be worth a try, but note that it’s not very flexible, i.e. it uses hard-coded row and column numbers.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hello Tobias and thanks for your prompt reply!
    I’ve already checked this extension, tanks. Actually I need some sort of this but with the ability to address a column of current row (I have to build a dynamic cell with various other cells contents).

    Also please note that i should output my data in current table’s cell and not on a WP page/post.

    Any idea?

    It’s a sort of formula at all but concerning string concatenation…

    Hi,

    I see what you mean. Unfortunately, I don’t know a solution to this ??
    Formulas don’t work with strings, and a Shortcode would not know the current row number. Sorry.
