I believe I've asked this before, but I'm hoping things might have changed byt now.
I have been trying to find a way to add some descriptors to your basic table short-codes that would specify a range of a table instead of the entire table for formatting purposes.
Many times I want to add section headers for several rows. The only way I've seen to do this has been to create multiple tables and load them each using separate short-codes. However, this slows down the loading of each page to a crawl.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
At the moment you can only show tables based on a shortcode, but you may try a workaround - add a new column, where you would enter some specific data to the selected rows. It could be numbers, for example, so the rows you want to export are labeled "1". Then, you can add the %VAR1% value to be "1", and call it differently through the shortcode:

Would that new column have to be labeled "var?"
Hi again Omar
No, that's the variable placeholder you need to define in Placeholders tab above the table, and then you can overwrite it when adding the shortcode.
