How to have nested cells in ALV grid output

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In the ALV grid output, how do we get two cells(A1,A2) in a single cell(the cell before to cell A)?

I.e. two different values (each in single cell[A1,A2]) inside a single cell.

This is like nested table. How can we achieve this?

c1 c2 c3

A1 A Row 1

A2

B1 B Row 2

B2

I am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY FM.

Hi,

Unfortunately, merging of cells / nesting of cells is not possible in ALV Grid. You need to find a different way of displaying the data.

IF you have a parent child record, you can try doing ...

1. Use ALV Tree control and show the data in a hierarchial format, where the chile shows up under the parent node record.

2. Else, you can design this with two grids - Parent / child, when you double click a on specific parent records, shows the relevant child details in the other grid.

Sorry for confusing all. This is ordinary grid layout. Is it possible to have nested cells in grid layout ?
