<BASE_ELEMENT_NAME>Basic Salary</BASE_ELEMENT_NAME>
<CURRENT></CURRENT>

<?for-each-group@column://G_EARNINGS;./BASE_ELEMENT_NAME?><?sort:current-group()/BASE_ELEMENT_NAME;'ascending';data-type='text'?><?BASE_ELEMENT_NAME?> <?end for-each-group?>
<?for-each-group@column://G_EARNINGS;./BASE_ELEMENT_NAME?>Current
Prev.
Diff. <?end for-each-group?>
<?PREVIOUS?>
<?DIFFERENCE?><?end for-each-group?>

Row#1 : It will create dynamic columns for each value of BASE_ELEMENT_NAME, which is grouped by base_element_name, hence it will place distinct values of same.

Row#2: It will also repeat but will add 3 columns for each iteration of for-each-group.

Row#3: same as row2 but instead of static data, it will add values.

  5. Hi Team,

    Can we dynamically merge columns in RTF?

    Basically I want to generate only 2 rows where I will be hard coding values and rest table should follow my group by structure.

    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
