Merging table rows

I've been doing this by selecting a row and then applying a cell merge. Thing is, i've been working with lots of tables that need this done and i'm kind of tired of having to select each row to merge it. The document i get from the editors has to be divided into columns. help? i'd like to be able to select the whole table and say "merge row ONLY"

Merging consecutive rows of a table

I want to merge consecutive rows of a table. i.e. if my table has 4 rows of data then my ouput of query will have only 3 rows because
rows 1 and 2 are merged to first row of result
rows 2 and 3 are merged to second row of result
rows 3 and 4 are merged to third row of result
For example if my table is
A | B
1 | 4
9 | 7
3 | 2
7 | 9
then output of query should be
A | B |A1| B1
1 | 4 | 9 | 7
9 | 7 | 3 | 2
3 | 2 | 7 | 9
How can i write a query to achieve this?

If SortKey is B and we use DB2 or SQLServer2005,
we can emulate Lag and Lead.
for instance
create table LagLeadTable as
select 'AAAA' as Code,100 as SortKey,5 as Val from dual
union select 'AAAA',200,20 from dual
union select 'AAAA',300,15 from dual
union select 'AAAA',400,30 from dual
union select 'BBBB',500,60 from dual
union select 'BBBB',600,70 from dual
union select 'BBBB',610,90 from dual
union select 'BBBB',620,50 from dual
union select 'BBBB',630,70 from dual
union select 'CCCC',100,80 from dual;
select Code,SortKey,
Lag(Val,3,0) over(partition by Code order by SortKey) as Lag3,
Lag(Val,2,0) over(partition by Code order by SortKey) as Lag2,
Lag(Val,1,0) over(partition by Code order by SortKey) as Lag1,
Val,
Lead(Val,1,0) over(partition by Code order by SortKey) as Lead1,
Lead(Val,2,0) over(partition by Code order by SortKey) as Lead2,
Lead(Val,3,0) over(partition by Code order by SortKey) as Lead3
from LagLeadTable;Above query can be emulated by below query.
select Code,sortkey,
coalesce(max(Val) over(partition by Code order by SortKey
                  Rows between 3 preceding and 3 preceding),0) as Lag3,
coalesce(max(Val) over(partition by Code order by SortKey
                  Rows between 2 preceding and 2 preceding),0) as Lag2,
coalesce(max(Val) over(partition by Code order by SortKey
                  Rows between 1 preceding and 1 preceding),0) as Lag1,
Val,
coalesce(max(Val) over(partition by Code order by SortKey
                  Rows between 1 following and 1 following),0) as Lead1,
coalesce(max(Val) over(partition by Code order by SortKey
                  Rows between 2 following and 2 following),0) as Lead2,

Merging multiple rows in to a single row (when rows meet merging criteria)

Hi
I have a scenario to merge multiple rows in to a single rows when the data in those rows fall in merge criteria .Below is how my data is
Now the merging logic for the above rows is , we need to combine multiple rows in to a single row when the data in those rows permits us to do in that way. Simply saying , its like sandwich where we combine multiple things to a single piece.The output for
the above rows should be
Here we combined Row 1 ,2, 3 in to a single row as the data in those rows permits to merge in to single row. But the row 4 cannot be combined to any of those rows because the data in those rows doesn't permits us do a merge ( As the value of the column
JobSource for the row 4 is different from the other rows ) .
My original data has 56 columns , but for readability i kept only 9 columns.
can you please throw some idea on how to achieve this scenario. I know we need to use CTE for achieving this, but i am not able succeed in doing an iteration on multiple rows.
Appreciate your response .

Thanks for your reply .
Rule for merging is simple . First of all there is no unique row identifier for each row , the fact table is not having an identity column in the database . I called row 1 , row 2 etc in my post above only to make better explanation of my scenario.
The rule for merge is below.
1) we can combine only when the data in a column for one row is null & the data in same column for the other row is not null . It should also satisfy the condition where the data in other columns should conflict each other.
2) Data for all columns for the merging rows should not be conflicting (i.e. we should not merge the rows when the data in a column is not equal to the same column in the other row
,considering not null value)
Steps in merging the above source data :
1) Consider the case of row 1 and row 2 in the source, we can combine these rows as the data is satisfying the rule 1 for columns (Jobsource,Flight, Package,Update,Iscancelled
,Result, Severity) and columns (JobID and RuleName ) fall under rule 2. we merge these two rows in to a single row and keep in that in the table.
2) Then the resulting row is again merged with the second row which is present above by applying the rule 1 and rule 2 . Below would be output of merge operation.
Now there would be only two rows in the output . But these rows cannot be merged as the data doesn't satisfy the merge rules 2 . As Jobsource for the row 1 in the above output is "PresubmissionSource" which is not equal
to "PostSubmission" jobSource which is in row 2. So these two rows are left unmerged .So the above two rows would be the output of merge operation on my source data.
This process has to be repeated for all the rows in the table. As of now my table as 92 Million rows with 56 columns which need to be considered for merging rows. I replicated my scenario in 9 columns and 4 rows to understand better.

How do I remove a gap between table rows in InDesign?

I need help in figuring out how to remove gaps between table rows. I have tried Table Spacing under Table Set-up, but it doesn't work.
Here's what I'm working on:
As you can see there are gaps above the first row and below last row under the header Business Management Technology. I cannot select that gap. How do I remove it, so that the first class, 31058, is flush with the black header? (and the last class, 32675, is flush with the Chemistry header?)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sarah

...it may be that the black bar is created with a paragraph rule instead of cell color.
I hadn't considered that, and your example is proof-of-concept. However, now that you made me look closer, I still don't think that's the OP's case, seeing as the text in the OP's header rows appears to span more than one column, belying what I suppose must be merged cells.* The column strokes in the "gap" appear to disqualify it (the gap) as part of a row with merged cells.
*There is still another possibility that someone "made pictures" of tables with merged cells by overlaying text frames to make the header rows. I've run across all kinds of such "carpentry;" especially when the file may have originated at the desk of someone who avoids or resists use of tables. They find ways to fake them and/or their features.

[JS CS3] Merging table columns

Hi all,
What's the fastest way to merge columns in a table?
I'm using the following loop to merge the 4th and 5th columns in my table:
for( var f = myTable.rows.length-1; f >= 0; f-- ){
myTable.columns[3].cells[f].merge (myTable.columns[4].cells[f])
It works, but I'm working on a large table (120 pages worth) and have many instance where I need to merge columns. Using the loop above, the script takes hours to run. Is there a faster way to merge columns while keeping the rows intact?
Thanks,
Michael

I've just done some time testing with CS4 and found the following:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
cells = table.cells;
for (var j = 0; cells.length > j; j++) {
    cells[j].contents = "James";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
takes just about the same time to run as:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
for (var c = 0; columnCount > c; c++) {
    for (var r = 0; rowCount > r; r++) {
      table.cells.item(c + ":" + r).contents = "Harry";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
While this version takes about half as long again:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
for (var c = 0; columnCount > c; c++) {
    for (var r = 0; rowCount > r; r++) {
      table.rows[r].cells[c].contents = "Harry";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
None of which is particularly surprising. But when I compared the following two scripts, I was astonished by the result:
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
table.cells.everyItem().contents = "Harry";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
table = app.documents[0].stories[0].tables[0];
start = new Date();
rowCount = table.rows.length;
columnCount = table.columns.length;
for (var n = 0; 100 > n; n++) {
table.cells.itemByRange(0, -1).contents = "George";
end = new Date();
alert(end - start);
The latter, using itemByRange was about a third faster than using everyItem(). 1800 milliseconds to 2700 on a 4 x 10 table.

Table row with more than 1 UI elements

Hello Experts,
I want to include more than 1 UI element(say an input field and a button) in table row of a column.
More like having a column with merged UI elements in all the rows of the table.

2 table rows - one "Add Row" button

I am a novice, not alot of training with javascript.
I need 2 table rows added to a table without having multiple "add row" buttons. I would like to be able to add both rows with one button.
right now the button is set for the most current row:
Table1._Week.addInstance(0);
the row above is Table1._Codes
How do I script this in order to have both rows appear when the Add Row button is selected?

Hi,
A couple of things without benefit of seeing the form.
Are the repeating rows called:
'Week' / 'Codes'?
OR
'_Week' / '_Codes'?
The underscore '_' is shorthand for instanceManager, which is used to call the addInstance. If I assure that the repeating rows are just 'Week' / 'Codes' then the following javascript in the click event of the button should work:
Table1._Week.addInstance(true);
Table1._Codes.addinstance(true);
This should add a row to each repeating row in one button.
Please note that the parameter for the addInstance is either 0 (false) or 1 (true), which relates to whether the row will be data merged with the form.
Hope that helps,
Niall
hmmm, see you have another thread on this: add multiple rows with add a row button ???

typical situation : i have a master(form)-detail(table) page, i can modify one field in the detail table for each row

i use the binding data of selected row to do this and it work very well. ( currentRow.dataprovider )
now what the best ( and easier) solution to update ( merge ) every row of this table
i've thought that i can create a "mergeStudents(list<Students>" function in my Ejb but i don't know if there s a binding object which send the full list
Thanks and sorry for my english.
