Nesting data tables in the Word Document

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

We’re using Aspose.Words with the Microsoft .NET framework and want to achieve nested tables where a child table is filtered by a matched value on it’s parent, creating a relationship.

So an example of our data structure would be

- Group Id 1
– Item 1 with Group Id 1
– Item 2 with Group Id 1
- Group Id 2
– Item 3 with Group Id 2
– Item 4 with Group Id 2

The complication is that we are returning the two sets of data as seperate tables from our code, and are unable to set the relationship via code. We would like to try achieve this through Word at the document level (most likely using VBA or Mergefields) rather than in C# code.

We’ve taken a look at the documentation in the Aspose wiki pages and cannot find a solution that allows us to specify the relation through Word rather than in code.

Is this possible to achieve? If it is, how so?

Thanks
