VP ADD SPAN

VP ADD SPAN ( rangeObj : Object )

ParameterTypeDescription
rangeObjObject->Range object

Description​

The VP ADD SPAN command combines the cells in rangeObj as a single span of cells.

In rangeObj, pass a range object of cells. The cells in the range are joined to create a larger cell extending across multiple columns and/or rows. You can pass multiple cell ranges to create several spans at the same time. Note that if cell ranges overlap, only the first cell range is used.

  • Only the data in the upper-left cell is displayed. Data in the other combined cells is hidden until the span is removed.
  • Hidden data in spanned cells is accessible via formulas (beginning with the upper-left cell).

Example​

To span the First quarter and Second quarter cells across the two cells beside them, and the South area cell across the two rows below it:

initial-document

 // First quarter range
 $q1:=VP Cells("ViewProArea";2;3;3;1)
 
  // Second quarter range
 $q2:=VP Cells("ViewProArea";5;3;3;1)
 
  // South area range
 $south:=VP Cells("ViewProArea";0;5;1;3)
 
 VP ADD SPAN(VP Combine ranges($q1;$q2;$south))
