Hi All,

 

  • I'm trying to recreate the  atcodedog solution from the below post.

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/How-to-Create-Merged-Cells-in-Reports-Part-2/ba-p/9787...

 

 

when I tried to add a new container in the workflow by adding two two extra columns in the new container.

 

The city header is not aligned with the new columns APAC & EMEA.

 

Could you please help where the issue is.

 

I'm attaching the workflow  as per atcodedog solutions.

Hi Raj,

 

Thanks can you tell us where you made the changes ? I can see you have increased the Fixed size to 7 other than that any other changes you made it to work?

 

Or is it just you added the to the Join Multiple tool.

 

Thanks

Hi Binuacs,

 

Thanks say if I want to have the CITY as the Last header not in the Middle how this can be done.

 

Why this get miss aligned is there a reason for that technically this should work.

 

Could you please have a look to see how we can get this displayed as a last column rather than in middle.

 

Also if you have solution please let me know where you made the changes.

 

In my real scenario  I have the same issue that when we change the order it works.

Hi Raj,

 

I tested it but CITY column should hold only APAC and EMEA.

 

But in when I opened the PDF and PPT  output I get this form your solution.

 

Do you know why?Output.PNG

i have added a green container to show how this is done 
once you create such layout for all the groups combine them horizontally using layout tool and you will have a solution.

hope this is clear now.
