Hello, I am having problems figuring out the proper method for doing the cell joins. What I want in the end is a 2 row header and table that looks like this:

+--------+---------------+---------------+
|        |      Mode     |      Band     |
|  Need  +---------------+---------------+
|        | P | L | E | Q | P | L | E | Q |
+--------+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| ITU Z  | Y | W | C |   | N | Y | Y | Y |
| CQ Z   | Y | W | C |   | N | Y | Y | Y |
| State  |   | Y | W | N | N | Y | Y | Y |
+--------+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+

Need, Mode, Band being major headers and the P,L,E,Q's being minor headers under the grouping of Mode and Band.

Right now I am working on just making the Needs and Band header setup work. I have something like this:

needs.AddColumn("Need");
needs.AddColumn("Band");
needs.AddColumn("bp");
needs.AddColumn("bl");
needs.AddColumn("be");
needs.AddColumn("bq");
needs.AddRow("","P","L","E","Q");
needs.SetFixedRows(2);
needs.JoinFixedCells(0,0,1,1); // Needs span 1 row

but anything I try with the next step just messes things all up. I guess I am not understanding the parameters:

int left, int top, int right, int bottom

I would assume that I would use:

.JoinFixedCells(1, 0, 4, 0);

to make the Column on the left (1), row (0), span to the right to column (4), row (0).

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

I got it. The left and right indexes are 1 based, not zero based it seems Smile

needs.AddColumn("Need", 3).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignLeft();    // 1
needs.AddColumn("Band",  1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 2
needs.AddColumn("BandL", 1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 3
needs.AddColumn("BandE", 1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 4
needs.AddColumn("BandQ", 1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 5
needs.AddColumn("Mode",  1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 6
needs.AddColumn("ModeL", 1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 7
needs.AddColumn("ModeE", 1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 8
needs.AddColumn("ModeQ", 1).HeaderAlignCenter().AlignCenter(); // 9
needs.AddRow("","P", "L", "E", "Q", "P", "L", "E", "Q");	
needs.SetFixedRows(2);
needs.JoinFixedCells(1, 0, 1, 1);
needs.JoinFixedCells(2, 0, 5, 0);
needs.JoinFixedCells(6, 0, 9, 0);
needs.ColorCols();

Thanks for the great control!
