Cell Merging

FlexGrid allows you to merge cells with same values, making them span multiple rows or columns. This capability is useful for enhancing appearance and clarity of data displayed in the grid. The effect of these settings is similar to the HTML <ROWSPAN> and <COLSPAN> tags.

Cell merging has several possible uses. For example, you can use it to create merged table headers, merged data views, or grids where the text spills into adjacent columns. This section discusses these scenarios in the topics below.
