wpDataTables to Report Builder (Template issues)
-
Hi,
I’m using wpDataTables and Report Builder to generate Word reports based on a wpDataTable, and I’m running into an issue where the dynamic values are not being inserted into the generated Word document.
I’ve tested this with both a manually created table and an imported Excel file (which is ultimately the method I’d prefer to use). In both cases, the table itself loads fine, filtering works, and the correct column names are visible in the wpDataTable backend.
However, the generated report still displays the raw template variables — like ${Name of Player} or ${Name of Player.all} — instead of pulling the actual data. I’ve ensured that:
The variables exactly match the origin column headers
The .docx template uses the correct ${} syntax
I’ve tried ${columnname}, ${columnname.all} and ${wpDataTable.row} … ${/wpDataTable.row}
“Follow table filtering” is checked in the report setup
I’ve tested with simplified templates using just one or two variables
Despite all this, the output file shows the placeholders instead of values.
In the morning, it worked once and when I tried to replicate it with another table & report template it stopped working for the rest of the day. Even the one that worked originally stopped working.
Is there an additional setting I may be missing? Please provide step by step solution.
I already submitted a ticket in the chat box.
Thanks for your help,
RISE
