# Archiving Data

 * Hi, I kept sports schedules, results, rankings, etc. in Tablepress this year.
   The season is over and before next season starts I want to archive all of my 
   2013 data into it’s own “area.” For instance, I would like to have a dropdown
   menu that lists previous years (ie 2013) and within that page I want to have 
   all of my data from 2013 in there and then be able to start fresh with the 2014
   schedules. Is there an easy way to do this? Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question.
 * A general recommendation I can make here, is to change your table’s IDs to contain
   the year, for example to use “schedule-team-A-2013” and “ranking-2013” and similar
   as the table IDs. That makes managing the IDs easier.
 * As for that dropdown: Unfortunately, there’s not direct functionality for this
   in TablePress, so you’ll need to come up with a custom solution, e.g. based on
   JavaScript, that listens to the change of the dropdown and then navigations to
   a different page on the site (where a different/old table is shown).
    I have 
   done something similar on my baseball team’s website: If you check [http://www.poorpigs.de/baseball/spielplan/saison-2013/](http://www.poorpigs.de/baseball/spielplan/saison-2013/)
   you’ll see small links to “2011”, “2012”, and so on near that top, that go to
   a different page with the table from a previous year.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
