Polite123

Hi Experts,

 

Need some help in merging data.

 

Input data:

 

ABC
012

 

Output data:(I want column D to be over other columns A,B and c in the merged form and should be centre aligned...the image below is incorrect...as D should not be only over A but also B and C...just like D getting merged over A B and C in Excel(Merge and Center))

 

D
ABC
012

 

 

Thanks in advance:)

Thanks in advance

Hi @Polite123,

 

To get a header row with Merge and Center you can use the reporting tools and output to a file.  The attached workflow outputs to a temporary Excel file, but it can be modified to output to a named Excel file.  Formatting of the table data can be done in the Table tool.

Hi @Polite123 , I tried replicating the desired output hope this works for you. For Specific template we need to create a separate workflow.

Please refer to the workflow.
