Hey @KamenRider 

 

Using Reporting tools we can create merged rows and merged columns. Can you provide a sample input dataset?

Hi @IraWatt 

 

Thanks. This is a very nice tutorial however my header is a date which changes quarterly. I feel the tutorial does not fit the solution I am looking for. If you have any idea, I would appreciate it very much.

 

Please advise.

@KamenRider what I linked explains how you will create the merged headers. To create the changing date headers is quite straight forward using the date time tools/formulas. Without knowing how your data comes in its hard to suggest just one solution.

 

There is a good Blog here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/DateTime-Functions-Cheat-Sheet/ba-p/844353 which should help you to create dynamic date headers.
