XLS Cell Merger

The XLS Cell Merger node merges the cells for given ranges of input tags.

Tags in the provided XLS Control Table must appear in rectangular ranges. A single tag may re-appear, as long as two ranges of the same tag share at most a cell's corner, but not a cell's border. In this case, multiple ranges will be added based on the same tag.

Optionally, all distinct tags can be used instead of a single one (see below).

Options

Tag Selection

applies to tag (single tag only): Tag in your XLS Control Table that defines the merge range(s).
applies to all tags: Instead of specifying a single tag, the Cell Merger is applied repetitively to all distinct tags found in the control table. Note that in this case, no comma-separated tag list splitting is applied but the full cell content qualifies as a tag.
This option eases definition of adjacent merge ranges based on the original data table's values.

Input Ports

: The XLS Formatter input port potentially holding previous formatting instructions that the instructions of this node shall be added to.
