Table help

[ericburnard]

Im not sure if this is the right forum to post this but i wasnt to sure.

Basicly i dont have the foggyest how to do this. I have a table say 5x5, alont the top there is A,B,C,D,E and down the side there is 1,2,3,4,5. I have names in the database that need to go into this table. Now the problem is some of these names need to span 2,3 or 4 columns.

 

So, how can i get, say, Dave, who needs to be in row 2 but across columns 2,3 and 4, to span columns 2,3 and 4??

 

Help is really needed. Thanks

Eric
