  "colspan" functionality in a table?

  Feb 24, 2005 01:33 PM|LINK

  I want to display a label and some column totals in the footer of a table. The label text is wider than any column in my table. Is there some way to tell a table column that I want it to span more than one column? I do not want the footer column to expand because it causes the whole table column to expand. The Sum function is only valid within the body section so I cannot move the totals to the page or report footer. I cannot make them seperate text boxes from the table since it expands and I want them at the bottom without any seperation. The only solution I could come up with is to make a subreport with the same query, just totals, and put it after the first. This offends my sense of esthetics. There has to be a more elegant solution. TIA

  Select the multiple columns, right click, and choose Merge Cells.
