is it possible to build a table with manually entered data values (constants) combined with values of formidable forms entries (dynamic)? E.g. table row1 column1 = 1.5 / column2 = formidable forms entry fieldX table row2 column1 = 1.0 / column2 = formidable forms entry fieldY ...
Is it possible to get single formidable forms field values via shortcode and paste them in a row/column of my choice (e.g. manually data table)?
It's not possible to dynamically pull the data from Formidable Forms, but if you purchase the Formidable Forms Integration for wpDataTables add-on, you can create a table linked to Formidable Forms, and then use the Single Cell Shortcode feature to generate a shortcode from this (Formidable-based) table and paste it into a manual table you created afterward.
For example, this is the Formidable Forms-based table and I want to copy the data of the "Email" field:
wpDataTables supports a lot of other plugin's shortcodes so you can even try using direct single field shortcodes from Formidable (if they support that), but the only thing you'll need to do as a prerequisite is to enable the "Parse shortcodes in strings" in wpDataTables General Settings.
This will allow you to use shortcodes in string-type columns.
Dear TMS,

Thanks in advance,

Hello Marcus.
It's not possible to dynamically pull the data from Formidable Forms, but if you purchase the Formidable Forms Integration for wpDataTables add-on, you can create a table linked to Formidable Forms, and then use the Single Cell Shortcode feature to generate a shortcode from this (Formidable-based) table and paste it into a manual table you created afterward.
For example, this is the Formidable Forms-based table and I want to copy the data of the "Email" field:
The shortcode I need would be:
[wpdatatable_cell table_id="49" row_id="1" column_key="createdat" sort="1"]
wpDataTables supports a lot of other plugin's shortcodes so you can even try using direct single field shortcodes from Formidable (if they support that), but the only thing you'll need to do as a prerequisite is to enable the "Parse shortcodes in strings" in wpDataTables General Settings.
This will allow you to use shortcodes in string-type columns.
