I don't suppose there's a way to use COLSPAN to get an ACROSS column to span two columns in a COMPOUND Excel report?

This is a sample fex:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
WARRANTY
LENGTH
WIDTH
BY COUNTRY
BY SEATS

ON TABLE HOLD AS H001
END

TABLE FILE H001
SUM
LENGTH
WIDTH
BY COUNTRY
ACROSS SEATS AS ''

HEADING
"CAR TEST"
" "
"DIMENSIONS"
" "

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K OPEN NOBREAK

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=3, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=NAVY, $
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, $
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE, STYLE=BOLD, BACKCOLOR=SILVER, JUSTIFY=CENTER, $
ENDSTYLE
END

TABLE FILE H001
SUM
WARRANTY
BY COUNTRY
ACROSS SEATS AS ''

HEADING
" "
"WARRANTIES"
" "

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K CLOSE

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2, STYLE=BOLD, COLOR=NAVY, $
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, $
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE, STYLE=BOLD, BACKCOLOR=SILVER, JUSTIFY=CENTER, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Hi Francis,

Adding an additional dummy compute after WARRANTY improves it a bit. Closer, but still not quite what you want although it may seed ideas?
TABLE FILE H001
SUM
WARRANTY
 COMPUTE DUMMY/A1 MISSING ON = MISSING; AS ''

You might be able to get your desired output by applying a template to your data, putting your data on separate worksheets to reference from the template.

You would need a template workbook (xltx or xlmx format) with the template as the first sheet and enough sheets for the various different kind of data (mixing them makes the template harder to write).

Tony, thanks, yes I added a column amazingly called DUMMY:
COMPUTE DUMMY1/A1 = ''; AS ''


Wep5622, I have not considered a template, mainly because the report is a compound Excel with multiple pieces in two tabs...
