The ASCII art would have worked better in a monospace font as I cannot quite see what wants spanning. I assume you are using it for a data table and not misusing it for page layout.

[Rxyz]

using it for data table itself.
one of the column should be as above.

not sure how to do it? I would appreciate your help.

one of the column should be as below. Have other columns before and after Income.

Income
__________________________
Loans | Deposits | Others
| |


Thanks.

[Rxyz]

finally got this working using below

<thead>
<tr><th rowspan="2">Col1</th>
<th rowspan="2">Col2</th>
<th rowspan="2">Col3</th>
<th colspan="3">Income
<th rowspan="2">Col5</th></tr>
<tr><th>Loans</th><th>Deposits</th><th>Others</th><tr>
</thead>

But there is an extra empty column that's getting added at the end of the table.

Not sure why is that. How to remove that extra column? why is it getting added?

Thanks.
