Hey @Ekmi9,

 

Do you want this output in Excel? In Alteryx no such thing as a "sub column" exists. Merging cells also doesn't work. Alteryx is not really ment to be used for such a format (no data tool is). 

An Alteryx approach for something like this would be to create a column that contains A or B, instead of each column carring that value each row would do so. 

 

 

This does something similar:

If you really want to present your data in this way, you can use several reporting tools to achieve that.But it is not recommended because Alteryx is not a good reporting tool.
