can't merge cells in Report Designer

[Former Member]

Hi!

I use Report Designer.

I have 3 rows and 5 columns in the Header/Footer.

I can't merge cells, for example cells from 2nd row, 2-4th columns.

I need this format:

AAA | BBB | DDD | EEE | FFF

-

---

ssss | ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff | gggg

-

---

aaaaa| nnnn | mmm | kkk

What can I do?

here's a little work around:

start with columns BBB DDD EEE first

select row "ssss | ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff | gggg", and hit merge cells

then add column AAA to the left

then add column FFF to the right

by the way, what happened to column CCC?

Hi,

Actually you can merge the Cells in Header and Footer. Just that, I think you have older version of the Report Designer.

In 7.10 GUI Release there is now an option to Merge and Unmerge Cells in Header and Footer.

Please check the Report Designer Version from HELP about. It should be atleast 7.1 with Front End Patch level 5 and Above.

I have the same Issue. My Version of RD which is for Release 2004s it does not work but on another machine with GUI 7.1 it works so check that out.

Hope it helps.
