tablefield
This module allows you to attach tabular data to an entity. The input form allows the user to specify the number of rows/columns and allows entry into each table cell using text fields. Tables can be defined globally and on a per entity basis, so every node can have multiple tables of arbitrary size. Enter data by hand or by CSV upload. Table data can also be downloaded as CSV files by your users if you so choose. Tables can be multi-value and revision capable.
Extend
Modules that extend TableField:
- Themeless (D7 only, tables as pure HTML, JSON or XML output)

New features in the 7.x-3.x branch (not in D8 yet)
You are invited to try the D7 newest version. It is stable and provides an automated upgrade when coming from the 7.x-2.x version. Before upgrading, backup your database just in case.
- Display related settings have been moved from 'manage fields' to 'manage display' to differ the display of the same field per content type.
- Offers 'Raw Data (JSON)' format besides 'Tabular View'. For use with Views Datasource apply the latest patch on it of #2468325: For nesting JSON structures, allow certain fields to be designated for "raw passthrough".
- The table content can now be indexed with the Search API.
- Remove all empty columns and rows instead of only the trailing ones.
- Hide a column if every corresponding row is empty (excluding header).
- Make it possible to disable sticky table headers.
- CSV import now working with non-UTF8 encoded files.
- Allow to have the first column as header instead of first row (vertical).
- Support for Tablesorter.
- XML output.
- Allow linebreaks (textarea).
- Support for Multiple Fields Remove Button.
- Optionally themeless output of a node's tablefield on the path 'node/%/themeless' (HTML, JSON or XML). In that case add
Disallow: */themelessin the robots.txt file. - Configurable maxlength.
- Make striping (odd/even class) optional.
- Other modules are now able to override the output of the tablefield.
- Ability to hide or disable the import CSV option.
Please help by porting above features to D8. We always commit with attribution to the patch author.
Starting from the 7.x-3.2 version the submodule TableField Themeless has been removed in favor of Themeless. Just install and enable it if you are seeking for themeless output. #2876537: Include other fields in themeless output was the reason behind this.
Requirements
>=PHP 5.4 for the 7.x-3.x branch if you intend to use Raw data (JSON) output.
In PHP 5.4.0 JSON_PRETTY_PRINT, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES, and JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE options were added to json_encode that the 7.x-3.x branch makes use of.
Notes
Drupal 8+
An upgrade path from Drupal 7 is not provided. Recommended is to:
- export all tables as CSV files
- uninstall the module before a migration
- add the tables again on Drupal 8 per node by using the CSV import feature.
Drupal 7 and below / Backdrop CMS
- Drupal 7 and below are no longer supported.
- There is a full version of tablefield available for Backdrop CMS.
