Hi there,

I created a report template that contains of 3 tables. Each table should list parameters i created in one master wpdatatable. This master wpdatatable has 5 columns.

• For my first table i would like to use column 1,3 and 4 to be listed in table 1.
• In table 2 i would like to generate a table that shows columns 1 and 2 (a description for column 1).
• In table 3 i would like to display column 1 and 5 (some recommendations).

Table 1 gets filled up correctly (see attachments). All the others not.
It does seems that for a report i can NOT create more than 1 table ??
Is that really the case ? or do i miss something here...

If so, i would like to request this feature, since i do need this functionality for many of my reports (almost all of them).

Many professional reports contain of more than 1 table.

2nd Request:

If this is not possible it would be hlpful to use 2 different WpDataTables to be used in one report as well. Is this possible ? I did not find a way to do that either.

Many thanks in advance for letting me know how to solve the problems,

Ivo

Hello Aleksandar,

thanks for your quick respond and forwarding the feature request to the Dev-Team. The Plugins you offer are really helpful, so this feature would bring reporting to the next needed level.

Thanks a lot,

Ivo   

Hi - I am a bit confused by this.

Aleksander, you are saying that the report builder cannot take information from more than one WPDataTable - which I understand,  There is only one source. 

But Ivo seems to be asking about creating two "text tables" in the one Wordpress template.  With all the information coming from a single WPDataTable.  Why does this not work?  It seems to work in the examples in the documentation. 

I have the same problem.

I mistook the shaded area at the top as being a separate table but now I see it is not.

Got it.

So report builder can only really produce one output table from one source table. 

Would be great if your developers could work on this.

It currently means that to produce moderately complex reports we need to manually download multiple source tables and merge with templates outside of wordpress/plugins.  And it means we have to do this manually for our customers.

Thanks anyway 

Have there been any updates on this feature request? 

I am encountering the same need to access multiple data sources/tables in the same report. Currently, we have 4 separate reports for each table. Our customer has requested that we can generate 1 report file including all 4 reports/tables.

Thanks Blazenka

Yes, we do that.  It actually replaces the need to use the Report Builder and we get a better output.  

We take one or more "merged with SQL" WPdatatables that we export to excel and link to summary spreadsheets and an MSWord template.

With the Report Builder we can only create one single page with one single table at a time.

With our method we create multiple page reports in the one document, but there are risks because the data is moved around and its also not able to be updated quickly with live data.

It would be really good to see the Report Builder updated to cope with multiple output tables over multiple pages.  It would be a powerful addition to the uses of WPDatatables.

Thanks

Andrew
