Anyone know of a way to merge a heading on top of multiple columns? I'm displaying data for multiple years in different categories. Right now it looks like this:

PRICE INCREASE | PRICE INCREASE | PRICE INCREASE
1 | 2 | 3


And I would like it to look like this to save some real estate on a report.

PRICE INCREASE
1 | 2 | 3

Any idea would be appreciated. FYI they are being outputted as HTML if that makes a difference. Thank you in advance!

Is Price Increase a header? or an across field? If its a Header or Subhead, you can use the COLSPAN command in the Style Sheet to merge multiple columns.

I have multiple columns. Each column contains a category and a year. So price increase 1 is a column heading. Price increase 2 is the next column heading. Price increase 3 is the final column heading. I just want 1 2 and 3 all to have price increase merged as a heading. So if you looked at it in excel A1, A2 A3 would all be merged with price icnrease and b1, b2, b3 would be the individiual year number with data listed below.

Ryan, within eric's question is a clue. The only way to have column titles span more than one column is to put the column titles in the HEADING or SUBHEAD and use HEADALIGN=BODY and COLSPAN. Suppress the real report columns by using COLUMN_NAME AS ''.
