Stacked columns / Grouped columns in Tables

Feature Requests
1

Hello, we would like to group some columns in the table component.
For example to have a table with two tier headers like this:

Do you think it's a feature that could be added to Retool tables ?

The native retool table doesn't support merged column headers (yet). You can achieve this tho by creating a custom component and passing the data in the model.

Create a transformer that creates an array of the numbers as you need them, assuming something like:

{
  name: "Teddy Bears",
  produced_mars: 50000,
  sold_mars: 30000,
  produced_venus: 100000,
  sold_venus: 80000
}

Pass that into the model data of the custom component and iterate over each product in the HTML of the table.

Thanks for the quick answer !

Unfortunately, we are using multiple features of Retool tables like editable columns, so using a custom component would be too tedious to implement :disappointed_relieved:

Hey there, @aturiot! Thank you for writing in and requesting that the option for grouped columns be implemented into Retool's platform. I went ahead and put in a feature request for this.

I'll message you back here when it's implemented! :+1:
