Size of individual columns

Hello everyone
I wanted to ask a Question. I was working in design view in Dreamweaver. I inseted table 5 rows and 1 column. Second and fourth rows I devided into 5 columns but when I try to chnage the width of columns in fourth row I also change the width of columns in second row. Is it posible to change the size of individual columns without affecting others
Thanks for help in advance   

Clarification:
Tables for layout is a bad idea.
Using tables for layout and then splitting and merging cells within that table is a really really really bad idea.
The only way to avoid the problems that merging and splitting cells will produce is to follow Ken's advice. Instead of splitting a cell, nest a new table within that cell and make that new table have the desired cell configuration. Doing it this way, you wind up with an incredibly messy page code (tables within tables within tables) but at least the structure is pretty stable with regard to folks increasing text sizes in their browsers.
A much better approach is described here - http://www.apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php

  • How to increase size of individual column width in the filter screen of WAD

    Hello all ,
    Have a web application built in WAD. I have ran it  in portal and want to put the filter on material.When the filter screen displayed , I selected the filter value on material and added it to selections.  I am not able to see the full description of the material due to the width of the column is less which is hided to drag. Do we have any option to increase the individual column width in filter screen?
    Request you to respond .
    Regards,
    Lakshmi.

    Hi Vijay,
    Iam doing fine .Thank you.
    We tried different options in WAD . still it is not working . once the filter screen displayed in your report result (Portal) ,it will show you two tabs screen , will select and transfer the selections from left had side to right hand side.iam able to drag the left tab but not the right one due to iam not able to see the full description of info object.By dragging we can increase the full screen size but not the individual tab size.

  • Set custom font size for one column

    hey guys! I am trying to decrease the font-size for one column based on an lov and used
    style="font-size:8pt"It does not work though! Do you have a hint?
    brgds,
    seb

    Hello Seb,
    >> Might it be important whether the column is of type "...based on lov"?
    If by "...based on lov" you mean “Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)” the answer is yes. This type of column is not treated as an updatable column (the implementation is by using a regular <td> tag and not the <input> tag) so the Apex engine ignores the Element Attributes field.
    As far as I can tell, this column can only be styled in the query itself (and you need to implement the LOV yourself).
    Another option is to use a select list and disabled it, but the column will appear in gray, and with small font size it doesn’t look that good.

  • Prompts for individual columns

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any option for creating prompts for individual columns. means i have to extract data for region,customer,amount1,amount2,amount1+amount2 and % of amount1+amount2.
    But for amount1 i need to extract the data for this financial year and for amount2 is latest month data.
    How to achieve this using prompts.Because client wants those prompts dynamical.
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    If anybody doesn't have a better sollution... let's trick BI...
    to have in one report one mesure that summerize for an entire year, and one masure that is for only one month and we want to filter on that particular month,
    we need to set on measure 1 that it is at year level (so it will always summerize for entire year).
    Now our problem that year is not YEAR(some_date) so for jan 2010 to dec 2010 to give us 2010.
    We want to have from apr 2009 to mar 2010 to be 2009
    so we trick the year map to be
    finanial_year = case when month(some_date) < 4 then year(some_date) - 1 else year(some_date) end
    so now in my measure if I set at levels to financial_year it will summerize from apr to march...
    Hope It helpes

  • Suppressing totals for individual columns

    In OBIEE 10.1.3.4 Answers, is there a way to suppress totaling for an individual column? I have a derived column - unit price - that I want to suppress totaling on, while retaining totals for quantity and amount. I can do it by casting the column to character, but figured there must be a better way.
    Never mind... foundit!
    Edited by: andrea.bender on Jul 14, 2011 6:42 AM

    To suppress totaling on a specific column, go into the report and edit the formula for column and set Aggregation Rule to 'None'

  • How to increase text size of a Column header of table in webdypro

    Hi All,
    Can anybody suggest me how to increase the text size of a column header of table in webdyrpo. I didnt find any option anywhere. can anybody help me out to solve this issue?
    Regards
    Ravikumar

    Hi Ravikumar,
    As Sukanta has suggested create a Simpletype of String Type and Length 40.
    Then create a context for the column header and for its type, instead of choosing
    from the drop down, choose the 3 dots.
    In the window that appears, select Local Dictionary, and Select the Simpletype
    that you have created, from the respective package name. And click OK.
    This will make the text of ColumnHeader of type String and Length 40.
    Hope it helps.

  • Is it possible to distinct based on individual column ?

    This is the sample data i have , on Oracle 11G ,Release 1.
    WITH T AS
    (SELECT '001' ID,TO_DATE('16-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION
    SELECT '002' ID,TO_DATE('16-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT '003' ID,TO_DATE('16-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT '004' ID,TO_DATE('16-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT '005' ID,TO_DATE('16-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT '005' ID,TO_DATE('16-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT '005' ID,TO_DATE('16-09-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT '006' ID,TO_DATE('16-08-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL UNION ALL
    SELECT '006' ID,TO_DATE('16-09-2011','dd-mm-yyyy') DT FROM DUAL
    SELECT DISTINCT ID,DT FROM T;From the above query as expected i got all those rows that have distinct ID and DT column . Here a total of 8 rows.
    It is also important to note that distinct applies on whole column of a row at time and not on the individual column ,as explained in this example.
    Is there any way to get all those rows whose one column do not contain repeated data.
    e.g., select ID and DT where ID column do not repeat with same value.

    Depends on what you want to do exactly.
    But analytics can probably help you out.

  • Bcp doesnt throw an error when the data length exceeds size of the column

    Hi,
    We are using bcp in SQL 2008 R2 to import the data from flat file. When the data length exceeds the size of the column, it doesn't throw any error instead it has ignored the row.
    Please suggest me how to truncate and load the data into table.
    Thanks,
    Pasha

    Hi Pasha,
    According to your description, you want to import the data from flat file to SQL Server table with truncated data in SQL Server 2008 R2. To achieve your requirement, we can use Import and Export wizard. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
    Launch SSMS by clicking SQL Server Management Studio from the Microsoft SQL Server program group.
    Right click on the destination database in the Object Explorer, select Tasks, then Import Data from the context menu to launch the Import Wizard.
    Choose Flat File Source as Data Source, then browser to the flat file.
    Choose SQL Server Native Client 10.0 as Destination, then select the destination database.
    Click Edit Mappings button to change column size or other properties.
    Finish the processing.
    For the example about how to use Import and Export wizard, please refer to the blog below:

  • Setting size of JTable columns

    Hi everybody,
    Can anyone help me ?
    How can I set a column widths of a JTable, but also allow the user to resize them ?
    I tried with a code like
    TableColumnModel tableColumnModel = table.getColumnModel();
    for (int i=0; i < columnsSizes.length; i++) {
       if (columnsSizes[i] > 0) {
            tableColumnModel.getColumn(i).setPreferredWidth(preferedSizeArray);
    But it doesn't work :(
    When i do [ define the minWidth and maxWidth ]
    TableColumnModel tableColumnModel = table.getColumnModel();
    for (int i=0; i < columnsSizes.length; i++) {
        if (columnsSizes[i] > 0) {
            tableColumnModel.getColumn(i).setMinWidth(preferedSizeArray);
    tableColumnModel.getColumn(i).setMaxWidth(preferedSizeArray[i]);
    Columns's sizes are exactly what i want but ... the colums are no more resizable.
    So,
    if anyone can help me and tell me how can i set a predefined size for some colums and also allow the user to resize them ... that would be kind from him.
