I am using a table to create a semblance of what is depicted below. The content I'm generating isn't known before hand. The blue sections of the columns are cells that are kept together in the table and I am using ColumnText to display the table. For clarification I have outlined a sample cell layout in the top right of the image. The problem I'm running into is that when I use setSplitLate(false) with setSplitRows(true) alongside with using keepRowsTogether(int[] rows) the splitting doesn't work correctly. Most of the top right section should be able to fit into the bottom left but as shown in the image it is all moved to the top of the next column.
Is there a way to cause the cell to split as well as keep together with it's header? When I remove the keepRowsTogether(int[] rows) call the cell splitting works as expected.
Also, in my situation I only want it to split if there are two lines at the end of the column and two at the beginning of the next. In other words the cell would only split if it contained 4 lines of text. How would I go about doing this?
I modified the top right column as depicted below, blue representing the rows that are kept together.
As depicted, I have a cell for the header as before but I've split up the paragraph into many different cells. The first and last contain cells with two lines of text and the rest contain one line of text. This way I'm guaranteed that the header will stick with at least the first two lines of the bulleted paragraph. If the last two lines, or the last cell, end up not fitting in the column then because the cell contains two lines, I'm guaranteed that at least two lines will be carried over to the next column, if not more, depending on how many of the middle lines carry over as well.

I would like to add vertical blank space between two lines in a Modelica component GUI. I have (in this case), six similar looking parameters/comments within a group on a tab that I would like to visually break into two plus four by using a little space after the second one (essentially a blank line, but ideally I would have some control over the gap space).
I can put the last four in a separate group with no name, which gives a line in between the two/four. This is better than nothing, but not really what I want. I tried using groupImage, but it locates the image relative to whole group, so if it's smaller than the six entries, it doesn't affect them at all; and if it's larger, it introduces uniform spacing between all the entries, rather than just between 2/3.
I am importing data from a single data set in my crystal reports. I have just a single column table in my report. I want to arrange some data vertically say 10 rows of the table (In two vertical lines) and some data horizontally say next 10 rows of the same table (In two horizontal lines). I have managed to do the first part that is arranged the vertical lines side by side (By using the option Format With Multiple Columns in the section expert. I am facing difficulty in arranging horizontal lines on the same page (side by side of vertical lines). Any hints how can I achieve this. Any help will be appreciated.
Note: I have tried the subreports method, but was unsuccessful. The subreports shows one row per page for horizontal data and vertical data also limits then one row per page when I use subreports.

Make sure to choose the correct printing direction. Tick `Across then Down':
Go to Section Expert.
Select the section you want to make it multiple column under "Sections" (usually it's 'Details')
Make sure you have "Format with Multiple Columns" is checked under Common Tab
Now you should see Layout Tab on the top right corner, select that.
Set Width to 2" or whatever you want under Detail Size.
Then under "Printing Direction" set "Across then Down" option.
Click OK and you are all set :)
I have a column which I'd like to fill by selecting the top two cells and then drag down the column.
The cell contents are:
=Sheet1.B11
=Sheet1.B31
So when I drag down I expect to see
=Sheet1.B51
=Sheet1.B71
Instead, I get
=Sheet1.B13
=Sheet1.B33
Why is Calc not detecting the increment correctly? Adding more cells manually does not help.
The numbers in cell references are not single numbers which can be used to create a series in this way. In other words: The cell reference B11 is not "B"&11, but even one single cell reference.
To get references from Sheet1.B11 upwards in steps of 20, you could use INDEX like this:
=INDEX($Sheet1.$B$1:$B$100000,11+(ROW(A1)-1)*20)
Put this formula into a cell and fill it down.
I need it to look like a table so it looks similar to what the old program's report did. I finally figured out how to do columns, then I added lines between each field both horizontal and vertical. The first column formats with this correctly, but the second column only adds the line horizontally. See the screenshot:
Any help?
Personally, I prefer the new version. Less clutter. But if you want to add them, you can:
Put borders around your cells. This may cause some problems with overlap, but you can work around that by only putting borders around the Item and Price fields.
Use your line tool to draw 4 vertical lines in both the Detail and Report Header sections.
Its blind guess.. If you have copied the lines from first column there is possibility that they don't showup in second column.
Try to draw the lines again and check.
In my table I have repeating value.
I have put isPrintRepeatedValues=false to avoid the repeat values. It was success but I found that the left border is missing for the left cell in a row.
How to make to cover his line for a repeat row only?
The result would be as at the picture (highlighting area) below:
