titleMerging Table Columns into Rows

The Table Set Macro allows to merge the columns of tables to merge into one row in the result table. In this case you need to use the Set Operator 'or'. You need to make sure that all columns of the resulting table are present in the first table.

This allows you to for instance generate a table by the use of the

and add additional information by a plain HTML table. 

Example Box

Suppose there is a couple of documents that describe books. For this example each book has a name (title) and the information about the author.

You need to list all books and you want to add the information,  if you have read the book or if you  are reading it.

The Table Set Macro does the merging of table rows. You need to select by the column 'Name' and the set operator 'or'.

The resulting table:

With this use case you may add information to a document listing that is not present in the documents. The difference to adding this information to the document is that you cannot select on it and cannot reuse this information in other queries. But it allows to add information that is only relevant in one specific use case.
