Column Span (colspan)

The Column Span property sets when two or more cells are merged in a row definition for a report table.

This property indicates how many cells are included in the merge, starting with zero. If no cells are merged, the colspan would be zero; if two columns are merged, the colspan value is 1, meaning it spans one additional column; if three columns are merged, the colspan value is 2, meaning it spans two additional columns; and so on.

To set this property, press the CTRL key and select the column cells you want to span, then right-click and select a Merge option.

Type: Numeric.

The value must be an integer.

Default value: Columns are not merged.

When a column is selected, you can find the Column Span property in the Table category of the Properties view.
