Navision Export To Excel with Merge Cell Function

Hi all,

While developing reports in classic client with Export to Excel Enabled, client wants to have Header cell merged. This is mostly faced issue.

Resolution -
What i did is that i added a function in Excel Buffer table which merge specified cell.

Function -

PROCEDURE MergeRange(FromRow : Integer;FromCol : Integer;ToRow : Integer;ToCol : Integer);
VAR
  FromRec : Record 370;
  ToRec : Record 370;
BEGIN
  FromRec.VALIDATE("Row No.",FromRow);
  FromRec.VALIDATE("Column No.",FromCol);
  ToRec.VALIDATE("Row No.",ToRow);
  ToRec.VALIDATE("Column No.",ToCol);
  XlWrkSht.Range(FromRec.xlColID + FromRec.xlRowID + ':' + ToRec.xlColID + ToRec.xlRowID).Merge;
END;



Function Definition -

1) Function contain 4 Parameters - From Row No, From Column No, To Row No, To Column No., which specify the Cells that need to merge.

2) After you created the sheet and before you save it away or give the user control call that function.

As per Promod Request here is a sample example of how to use the function-

* Its just a sample code where i hardcoded the column and Row Numbers, you can change it to dynamic as per your requirment.

This is what i was getting output earlier using this function -


Now what i wanted is to merge the cells so Blog name comes in one cell. Below is the code that i have written in my report.


And here is the output that i get after that -


@pramod patil i hope this is what you wanted. Let me know if you have any issues.

Thanks & Regards,

      @Sharing iimu -
      Which version you are trying this. This is for Classic Dynamics NAV Classic Version and definition of that variable is in the table 370.
      The function need to be added in table 370 where that variable is already available.
