A very useful application of the Using Salesforce Table macro would be to combine it with Atlassian's Chart macro.

The following is a quick and simple example of what is possible when you use Salesforce Table with Charts.

Steps

1. Let's start with creating a Saved Filter.

2. For this example, we have created a Saved Filter that searches for all Opportunities under "Grand Hotels":
   
   
   This is the SOQL Query that was generated:

   SELECT Name, Amount FROM Opportunity WHERE Name LIKE 'Grand Hotels%' ORDER BY Name ASC NULLS FIRST 

   We have saved this Saved Filter under the name"Grand Hotels Opp".

3. Now, on an empty page, create a Chart macro.

4. Edit the Chart macro and change the Type parameter to "Bar".
   
    
   Click Save.

5. Within the Chart macro, create a Salesforce Table macro.

6. Edit the Salesforce Table macro.
   Let's use the Saved Filter we created earlier on.
   
    
   Click Save.
   As a side note, this is what the Salesforce Table would look like without using the Chart macro:
   
   

7. Save the Confluence page to view the result:
