Split row in two rows (Table with too many columns)

Hello,

I have a small problem. I have a table with several columns. As all the columns do not fit with the correct width, the format is very ugly. Since leaving all data in a row is very small, I like to cut a line into two, namely:
- For example if I have a table with 10 columns, I would leave in the first row 7 columns (for that look good data) and the next row only the remaining 3 columns. Thus each row of the original table, occupy two rows on the form.

Thank you very much beforehand

Hi,

If you create a table with two rows and then set out the cells in these as you see fit. Then in the hierarchy select both rows and right-click and select "Group as Section".

You can then set this section as repeatable in the Object > Binding palette and it will repeat both rows for each data node. The two body rows themselves should not be set to repeatable.

There is an example here that deals with sections in tables: http://assure.ly/fItII5 (and a slightly amended verson here: http://assure.ly/ix15qL).

Hope that helps,

Niall

    hello
    thanks for the reply, will be very helpful.
    Regarding links to examples, I do not relate to this problem, these are not correct, you must have confused the link.

    thanks!

    Hi,

    I know the examples weren't exactly your situation, but they should show how to combine multiple rows into a section row.

    In your case you would then make the section repeatable in the Object  > Binding palette.

    Good luck,

    Niall
