Add a dashboard page that reads another table
Anyone who can edit the dashboard · Updated 8 Nov 2026
A dashboard can read up to 5 tables from the same project. Each page reads one table, and every chart on that page reads it. A chart never reads two tables: to combine tables in one chart, join them in the data editor or a pipeline first (see Join two datasets on a shared column).
Start a page on another table
Start from any of these. They appear only for the Dashboard format, on a saved dashboard.
- Data tab → New page from another table ("Every chart on the new page reads that table."). See See the data behind a dashboard.
- Add → Page → On another table? Choose the table it reads →.
- On a dashboard that already reads more than one table, Add → Page says "This dashboard reads more than one table" and the button reads Choose a table.
Set up the new page
The New page panel has these controls:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Page name | Defaults to the table's name. |
| This page reads | The tables in the dashboard's project, with Search tables. Tables already in use show which pages read them; the dashboard's original table shows This board's table. |
| Row security | Shows only when row-level security is on, with the security column's name, for example Row security · Region. Tells you whether the table has it or is missing the security column. If it's missing, you get links to open that table's pipeline (for example Open Orders pipeline) and Row security settings. |
| Filters on every page | Shows whether each dashboard filter covers this page too or stays on the other pages. Date uses picks this page's date column. A filter covers every page when every page's table has that column, with the same name and type. |
| Start with | A suggested layout (built from the table's columns, with a preview) or A blank page. |
Click Create page. You see a message such as "Added Returns, reading Orders."
Messages when adding a page on another table
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| "This board already reads 5 tables, the most a board can read. Pick a table it already reads, or combine tables in the data editor first." | Pick a table already in use, or combine tables first. |
| "This table belongs to a different project than the dashboard. Pick a table from the dashboard's project." | Pick a table from the same project. |
| "Orders has no Region column, so this page can't be added while row security is on. Add the column in its pipeline, or turn row security off." | Add the security column in that table's pipeline, or turn row security off. |
| "Orders has no date column, so the date filter won't cover this page." | Expect the date filter to skip this page, or add a date column. |
| "No other tables yet. Add data in the Data library, then come back." | Add data first. See Choose how to bring data in. |
What a dashboard on several tables can't do yet
A dashboard that reads more than one table:
- Can only be copied within its own project.
- Can't be saved as a template.
- Can't be exported to Power BI or Tableau.
To do any of these, use a dashboard that reads one table, or combine the tables in the data editor first. See Manage your dashboards.
Limits
- Up to 5 tables per dashboard, all from the dashboard's project. Each page reads one table.
