Straight table with secondary titles

Hi,

This maybe an odd question, as I have a commentry box which has alot of text in it and then alot of smaller dimensions where the text is only 8 - 10 characters but alot of them, how can I present a table like this:

Issue | Dimension 1    | Dimension 2| Dimension 3     | Dimension 4     | Dimension 5     | Dimension 6  |

123   |  xxxxx               |  yyyy            | xxxx                  |  xyxy                  |   yxxx                | xxxy               |

        | Commentry A                                                 | Commentry B

         | ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss       | ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

         | ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss       | ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

456   |  zxxxx               |  zyyy            | zxxx                  |  zyxy                  |   Zxxx                | zxxy               |

         | Commentry A                                                 | Commentry B

         | ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss       | ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

etc

I think I will need one row heading for the dimensions, but for the commentry I think it would look better on each line.

Or it could look like this: with 2 title rows then the text below. with some backgound shading on alternative lines

Issue | Dimension 1    | Dimension 2| Dimension 3     | Dimension 4     | Dimension 5     | Dimension 6  |

         | Commentry A                                                 | Commentry B

123   |  xxxxx               |  yyyy            | xxxx                  |  xyxy                  |   yxxx                | xxxy               |

         | ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss       | ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

         | ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss       | ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

456   |  zxxxx               |  zyyy            | zxxx                  |  zyxy                  |   Zxxx                | zxxy               |

         | ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss       | ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Any solution to this, its down to long commentry.

Thanks,

Neil.

    [Issue - ID],

    [Issue - Priority],

    [Issue - Status],

    [Issue - Title],

    [Action - ID],

    [Action - Priority],

    [Action - Status],

    [Action - Title]

I am sorry I can not open the qvw as I am on the free version.

Also I dont have a problem loading the data, the issue is when I load from excel in this format

Table:

LOAD [Issue - Owner],

    [Issue - ID],

    [Issue - Priority],

    [Issue - Status],

    [Issue - Title],

    [Action - ID],

    [Action - Priority],

    [Action - Status],

    [Action - Title],

    [Issue - Desc.]

    [Issue - Comments]

    [Action - Description]

    [Action - Comments]

FROM

[straight table format.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1, filters(

Remove(Row, Pos(Top, 1))

));

These dimesions are large blocks of text and I want them in a table, but underneath the other dimesions so I can spread them out

    [Issue - Desc.],    [Issue - Comments],    [Action - Description],    [Action - Comments]

Hi,

I have posted the spreadsheet again with a raw data tab that will be upload into QV.

Then an output tab, this is the style for the QV table after the LOAD.

Hope this explains it.

hi Neil,

I had a similar situation, in order to handle that we created 2 straight table, with the second table below the other table and the first table having 100% transparency and adjusted it such a way that the sequence is 1 row of the first table is followed by 1 row of the second table , but its not an ideal solution.
