Can I trigger a rollable table roll like I trigger a dice roll within a Macro?

I want to be able to trigger a rollable table roll as you would trigger a roll like [[d20]] within a macro. 

This is so I can trigger a number of rollable table rolls at once. 

So basically, what is the quickest / shortest way to trigger a roll on one of my rollable tables within a macro... that will allow me to trigger six rollable table rolls with one click of a button on the macro bar?

The generic format is [[ Nt[tableName] ]], so to sum up six rolls on a numeric rollable table would be [[ 6t[tableName] ]].

If you have text entries in your tables, pretty sure you'll need to use discrete [[ 1t[tableName] ]] rolls and, say, format them within a template.

Note that a rollable table entry that contains inline rolls itself will not be fully processed. This is only possible with a mod/script like RecursiveTable.

What David says is right. If you use [[3t[some-text-table]]], it will show the first text entry, and hovering will show all three. If you use /r 3t[some-text-table]]], it will list all three text results, but the formatting is not as pleasant. 

RecursiveTable is a Mod Script that has multiple formatting options  as well as letting you nest rolls.
