Copying tables with formulas

When you copy a table , the formulas are copied as well but they will be deactivated by Confluence, it is a native behavior.

The cells containing active formulas are highlighted in blue in the source table, the copied table contains no active formulas (as below)

In order to make a formula active, you will need to go the cell originally containing a formula, click on the Function button (you will see that function is there), and hit the “Enter” to validate
