Issue description
You are working on a schedule that includes columns for "Nominal Width" and "Nominal Height" of doors. To make the schedule more user-friendly, you decide to combine these two columns under a single header labeled "Door Size." This approach will help anyone reviewing the schedule to instantly recognize that both the width and height refer to door dimensions. But how do you create a merged cell above these columns to establish this new header?
Solution
Steps to add a merged header cell:
- Select the header cells that you want to group under a common merged header. You can do this by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each header cell. This will highlight all the selected cells.
- With the header cells selected, navigate to the Schedule Header Options in your software's menu.
In the Schedule Header Options, select Insert Merged Cell Header Above. This action will create a new merged cell above the selected headers, where you can type in your desired label, such as Door Size.
Tip: If you need to remove the merged header cell at any point, follow these steps.
- Similar to the previous steps, go to the Schedule Header Options menu.
- Select the Delete Merged Cell Header Above option. This will remove the merged header and restore the individual headers to their original state.
