Hi,

I am separating my Header with a ','. When I run my fex, the separated heading is in the same Cell in Excel.
Does soemone know how I can split the heading into two cells?

Thanks.

use <+0> in combination with HEADALIGN:

TABLE FILE CAR
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
SUM SALES
HEADING 
"TEST <+0> TWO"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL07
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
	HEADALIGN=BODY,$
ENDSTYLE
END


Test: WF 8.2
Prod: WF 8.2

it' s the "as 'whatever <+0> the next cell underneath the whatever'"

not the heading..

Adding a comma is like you are adding a carriage return/line feed in the text.

To have it split into two cells you need two rows in your header such as Lisa sample.

jenni,

I don't understand why you would like to accomplish such a thing.
Having column's title in two cells will make you not able to use the Excel feature properly such as filters, pivot table, slicer, etc.

Can you explain you goal by doing that ?

I think what Lisa's saying is in order to do what you want, the final display showing the 'Column Titles' on two lines, you need to use two heading lines instead of the 'Column Titles'.

So, you would use a "AS ''" on all you PRINT, SUM... fields, and use the spot makers, as Frans showed, for alignment of those 'titles' over the associated 'columns.

I've used this methodology countless times, or more times than I care to count.

So, Yes, We can do this in WebFOCUS! ~ Doug

PS: Keep in mind what Martin Y said. With the caveat that you can filter on the second line, awkward, but it's doable.
