# Loading Tables from Boards via Board-ID

In addition to loading items from the current board, you can also pull **data** directly from **other boards** by using their **Board ID**. 

This is especially useful if you want to combine information in tabular format from multiple boards or reference board data that is stored elsewhere.

### Using the Board ID in Table Placeholders

All item data in tables is wrapped using these placeholders:

```
{{TableStart:Items}}
   Your placeholders like {{Column Title}}
{{TableEnd:Items}}
```

Now, if you want to load data in tabular format from a different board, you need to **wrap the whole table between those two placeholders**:

```
{{TableStart:Board[123456789].Groups}}
{{TableStart:Items}}
   Your placeholders like {{Column Title}}
{{TableEnd:Items}}
{{TableEnd:Board[123456789].Groups}}
```

The number inside the brackets—`123456789` in this example—is the **Board ID** of the board you want to output.

#### Full examples

Download Microsoft Word template with example snippets:

{% file src="/files/APvXWOvpnPB17zip6OfW" %}

**All Items from Board ID 123456789 grouped:**

{% hint style="info" icon="file-word" %}
{{TableStart:Board\[123456789].Groups}}\
\&#xNAN;**{{Name | GroupColor}}** -> Name of Group incl. Group Color\
{{TableStart:Items}}

\
Item Name: **{{Name}}**\
Date: **{{Due Date}}**

\
{{TableEnd:Items}}\
{{TableEnd:Board\[123456789].Groups}}
{% endhint %}

**All Items from Board ID 123456789 group by a status column (Column Title)**
\
If you want to group by another column, replace “GroupByStatus” with “GroupByColumnTitle”

{% hint style="info" icon="file-word" %}
{{TableStart:Board\[123456789].GroupByStatus}}\
\&#xNAN;**{{Name | GroupColor}}** -> Name of Group incl. Group Color\
{{TableStart:Items}}

\
Item Name: **{{Name}}**\
Date: **{{Due Date}}**

\
{{TableEnd:Items}}\
{{TableEnd:Board\[123456789].GroupByStatus}}
{% endhint %}

**All Items from Board ID 123456789 grouped and filtered**

{% hint style="info" icon="file-word" %}
{{TableStart:Board\[123456789].Groups(Filtercondition)}}\
\&#xNAN;**{{Name | GroupColor}}** -> Name of Group incl. Group Color\
{{TableStart:Items}}

\
Item Name: **{{Name}}**\
Date: **{{Due Date}}**

\
{{TableEnd:Items}}\
{{TableEnd:Board\[123456789].Groups(Filtercondition)}}
{% endhint %}

#### Where to Find the Board ID

You can find the Board ID in multiple places, for example:

* In the **URL** of your board<br>
* In the **board details menu**, where the ID is also displayed

### Using Filters and Groups with Board ID Tables

Board-ID-based placeholders fully support [the use of filters](/template/board-level-filter.md) as well as [grouping](/template/advanced-options/group-by.md).\
This means you can apply the same [filter conditions](/template/advanced-filtering.md) even when loading tables from another board.

To use filters and groups, extend your placeholder like this:

```
{{TableStart:Board[123456789].Groups(FilterCondition)}}
```

or &#x20;

```
{{TableStart:Board[123456789].Items(FilterCondition)}}
```

Make sure to close the table with the matching placeholder:

```
{{TableEnd:Board[123456789].Groups(FilterCondition)}}
```

or

```
{{TableEnd:Board[123456789].Items(Condition)}}
```

**This is an example of what the structure (including groups) could look like:**
