Using a Data Table within a Worksheet
To use a Data Table from the Asset Repository in a Worksheet, follow these steps:
1. Open the Worksheet in which you want to use the Data Table.
2. Select the desired Data Table asset (Worksheet) in the Asset Repository.
3. Drag the Data Table from the Asset Repository into the Worksheet.
This adds the Data Table to the Worksheet as a new Table. Note that only the Primary Data Table of the Worksheet in the Repository is added to the new Worksheet.

4. Rename the new table as desired.
The new Data Table remains linked to the original Worksheet, and columns of the new table can therefore not be deleted. If 'Auto Update' is set on the new table, changes made to the original table will automatically propagate to the new table.

The 'ProductSales' Worksheet (in the 'Tutorial' folder) contains a joined table called 'LimitedProducts' that returns products in a particular price range. To use this table within another Worksheet, follow the steps below:
1. In the left-side 'Asset' pane of Visual Composer, expand the 'Global Worksheet' node, and expand the 'Tutorial' node.
2. Double-click the 'ProductSales' node to open the 'ProductSales' Worksheet in Visual Composer.
3. Right-click the 'LimitedProducts' Data Block, and select 'Set as Primary' from the context menu. This makes the 'LimitedProducts' Data Block visible to other Worksheets.

4. Save the 'ProductSales' Worksheet.

5. Create a new Worksheet.
6. Select the ''ProductSales' Worksheet in the 'Global Worksheet' tree, and drag it onto one of the empty cells in the new Worksheet. This adds the 'LimitedProducts' Data Block to the new Worksheet, and renames it to 'LimitedProducts1'.

You can use the 'LimitedProducts1' Data Block in the new Worksheet in the same way as any other Data Block.
