 * Would it be possible to pull a cell from a different table? I have two tables
   set up and I need information from one to pull into the other.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble as well as for the late reply.
   I’ve been on holidays and therefore couldn’t reply earlier.
 * You could take a look at the TablePress Extension from [https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-cell-shortcode/](https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-cell-shortcode/)
   to re-use a single cells content in a second table.

 * I tried using this in my two tables and it isn’t showing the number and the sum
   for that row is giving me this error
 * !ERROR! B2 does not contain a number or expression
 * Here is a screenshot of my table [http://rsw1.co/table.png](http://rsw1.co/table.png)

 * Hi,
 * To make this work, you’ll also need an Extension that instructs TablePress to
   parse Shortcodes before it parses formulas. For an example, please see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/calling-other-table-cell-values-from-another-table?replies=24](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/calling-other-table-cell-values-from-another-table?replies=24)(
   my comment regarding a TablePress developer version does not apply anymore!).

 * Awesome, but not sure if I did it right. So I installed the plugin and it didn’t
   do anything so I changed the shortcode to`[table shortcodes_before_formulas=true
   id=1 cell=I2 /]` and that didn’t do anything..
 * What am I missing
 * THANKS For your help BTW 🙂

 * Hi,
 * this Shortcode modification has to be done on the page where you are displaying
   the table from your screenshot. No modifications are necessary inside the table’s
   content.

 * Oh Ok got that.
 * It doesn’t look like it is pulling the total from the first table ([http://rsw1.co/table1.png](http://rsw1.co/table1.png))
 * And now the sum that was supposed to be in table 2 and include the sum from table
   1 is giving me a new error message ([http://rsw1.co/table2.png](http://rsw1.co/table2.png))

 * Hi,
 * that’s strange… Can you try again after unhiding that second column?
 * Regards,
    Tobias
