Hello.  
I have a page with table.  
I want insert button in page (not table), which will change view of table to groupped and without groupped.

**How can i do this?**

p.s. I found this topic [Sort / group table with external controls](https://connect.superhuman.com/t/sort-group-table-with-external-controls/8746) by @Paul_Danyliuk, but in second action i want to ungroup table for normal (default) view. I think i may duplicate column for grouping, but i will use view of this table in another page, and because of this i dont want duplicate column

Hi @dezvin,  
and welcome to Coda community 🤝

You actually can’t provide this kind of automatic switch. i.e. buttons can perform _actions_ on data, but not change the layout.

You can however create two separate views and use links to different views.  
Something like this:

It’s a workaround, but maybe it accomplishes what you need.

Let me know!

@dezvin, I had the exact same question this evening (which prompted me to search the forum and found your post). I used a similar solution, but rather than using links, I made the tables collapsing. It looks like this:
