**Please Note that Advanced Shortcode is available only in the Pro Version of Ninja Tables**

### Date range filter- shortcode

Suppose you wish to primarily filter the date or date range if you have a table with a date column. This option is available in **NinjaTables version 3.5.8**. Use the date range filter with shortcode after upgrading your plugin to the latest version.

![Advanced shortcode](https://ninjatables.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Advanced-shortcode-1024x307.png)

**To filter by date range:**
`filter="~{date:M/D/YYYY}:{date:M/D/YYYY}"   filter_column="date"`
**To filter the date before 7 days to the next 1 day:**
`filter="~{date-7:M/D/YYYY}:{date+1:M/D/YYYY}"  filter_column="date"`
**For greater than use:**
`filter="{gt}{date:M/D/YYYY}"`
**For Less Than use:**
`filter="{lt}{date:M/D/YYYY}"`

Use this on your shortcode. The shortcode filter column is used to choose the column you want to filter.
NB: The date format must be the same as the date format for the columns.

### Other Shortcodes - Table Info

Helper shortcode for ninja tables helps you to easily show the following information.

- title
- description
- total_rows // Will work only for the default table
- last_modified
- last_editor

**Usage:**

```
[ninja_table_info id='YOUR TABLE ID HERE' field="INFO_FIELD"]
The following parameter can be used for field:
title
description
total_rows
last_modified
last_editor
```

### Table Cell Info

There are helper shortcodes where you can display your table cell data for a specific table.

**Usage:**

```
[ninja_table_cell id='YOUR TABLE ID HERE' row_id="YOUR_ROW_INDEX" column="YOUR_COLUMN_KEY"]

You will get the ROWID for default data source tables. But if you have a table with external data source or wp-posts / csv integration then your shortcode should look like this:

[ninja_table_cell id='YOUR TABLE ID HERE' row="YourROWID" column="YOUR_COLUMN_KEY"]
```

This shortcode will print out data from that particular cell data.

```
For the Row Index Number you have to click on this icon:
```

![advanced shortcode in table](https://ninjatables.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/advanced-shortcode-2.webp)

```
Above here for external data source table,the RowID would be the serial number of the table row
