Hello,

is it a way to set a column or row span in table headers?  
For example to span a title column on two columns, or on two rows.

Thanks and regards,  
David

Hi @David_Clesse,

This is possible for columns, unfortunately not for rows.

To do so, you can just define two separate tables below each other, e.g.:

> |:–50%–:|:–50%–:#  
> | Header | Header
> 
> |:–25%–:|:–25%–:|:–25%–:|:–25%–:#  
> | Content | Content| Content | Content

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,  
Robin

Hi @David_Clesse ,

Good news though: this is possible from now on! Only in HTML tables though, but have a read on our developer site on [how to build those HTML tables](https://developer.silverfin.com/docs/html-tables) ([together with this case for rowspan](https://community.silverfin.com/t/case-html-table-using-rowspan/2605)).

Let us known if you get stuck ☺
