Headings, Footings and SUB Head/Foot.

I want to COLSPAN the data in two columns.
Like the way we are merging the cells in excel. This i want it only for data in the report.

Is there any other way??

Any help is appreciated. Smiler

You need to use a template macro to do the formatting in Excel

Kofi,

You are absolutely correct from an excel point of view and it does seem like a strange requirement.

However there can be legitimate reasons for doing such a thing for presentation reasons.

But it only makes sense if all cells except the first are empty.

It is possible to create the report entirely as subheads and subfoots to control the layout of the data.
