multiple rows of column headers possible?

["Cooper, Stephen" <St...@McKesson.com>]

I would like to have multiple rows of column headers which groups column
headers according to a group.
I'd like the output to look something like:

+-----+---------+---------+
|     | group 1 | group 2 |
|     +----+----+----+----|
| Day | h1 | h2 | h3 | h4 |
===========================
| Mon | 1,1| 1,2| 1,3| 1,4|
|     | 2,1| 2,2| 2,3| 2,4|
| Tues| 3,1| 3,2| 3,3| 3,4|
---------------------------

In other words, Day is the first <th>, it has a rowspan=2.  "group 1"
has a colspan=2, and group 2 also has a colspan=2.

There's an empty <th> in the second <tr>, then <th> cells for h1..h4.

I'm thinking it would be along the lines of the groupBy="true" in the
<t:column> tag, or perhaps combined with a more complex DataModel than
just a ListDataModel wrapping a collection of Strings. 

Since I want to use groupBy="true" for the rows too, I can't just flip
the axis, otherwise that would be an easy solution.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Thanks!
Coop

Coop,

This was asked before. Maybe the previous solutions could help you?
