[How to merge table data Cells in the jasper report]

Dear Team,

Is it possible to merge row for particular columns in the table, while iterating the data to the table.

For Example:

Data is coming in the format:

COLUMN HEADER 1	COLUMN HEADER 2	COLUMN HEADER 3	COLUMN HEADER 4
DATA1	SOME DATA	SOME DATA	SOME DATA
DATA2	SOME DATA 1 SOME DATA 2	SOME DATA1 SOME DATA 2	SOME DATA
DATA 3	SOME DATA	SOME DATA	SOME DATA

 

Can we split row 2 from column 2 - 4 .

Please share a solution
