    Hi there,

    some other WP table plugin has a very interesting feature: You can display the content of a single table cell via shortcode. Does wpDataTables also provide this feature – or at least a similar feature? Maybe in the paid premium version?

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in our plugin.

    Unfortunately, we do not support single cell shortcode option, at the moment. However, we have this feature on our To Do list for the future versions.

    Just a little follow-up from my side:

    I just realized that maybe the wording of my original post wasn’t as precise as it should have been. Sorry …

    What I had in mind was that I can link a table to an existing data source (e.g. excel file) so that the content of the excel file will be loaded on every page load. But in addition to simply loading the whole content of the excel file into the table, I also want to be able to display the content of (for example) cell B22 via shortcode – anywhere I please! Maybe even individual rows and / or columns!

    Imagine an excel file with lots of different calculations in it, which sits on an FTP server and is updated regularly via an FTP client. And you are not interested in displaying all the different calculations in WordPress, but only their individual results (which are displayed in cell B22, C22 and so on, for example).

    If you could achieve that with wpDataTables…WOW! Powerful!

    WP NinjaTables do!!
