Hello sir/ ma'am,

Please guide me on how can i able to make a list cell from a table cell.

The problem is, when i build a report  i need to add another category name for each column title.
so i added 2 table row (divided the 1st row to 4 columns and the second row into 16 columns).

Drag a list container >> associate a data items or query.

But when i run the report, the columns that i made from the table row are not alignned with the list column body of the data item that i dragged in the work area.

when i compared with the other reports (ready made report) i discover that instead of table cell ,they are using List Cell..

but when i tried to see or change it into ancestral properties .. there is no available list cell in the selection on the report that i made...

The report that i made resulted to disaligned data.


What will i do? please help me.


Thank you

You should use the list header in order to get the functionality you are searching for. Using the Structure menu item to Headers and Footers (List), and add a List Page header. You can use the split cell function (or combine cell option) to format this 'mock' table attached to your column titles. You can add rows to it by selecting a list cell and under that same Headers & Footers insert a row. In order that these float to the top of the list you'll have to select the entire list object and change the properties - under general - column titles start at details, or hide and use the header as the column titles. You need to be unlocked to do these tricks.
