I was trying to make a report via views in Drupal 7. It's quite easy to generate a table with the headers being the labels of the fields, like the following (being very straightforward):

:---------:----------:----------:----------:
| Label A | Label B  | Label C  | Label D  |
:---------:----------:----------:----------:
| Value A | Value B  | Value C  | Value D  |
:---------:----------:----------:----------:
|Value A' |Value B'  |Value C'  |Value D'  |
:---------:----------:----------:----------:

However, I am getting stumped at creating the following complex table:

:---------:----------:----------:----------:
|     Header A       |      Header B       |
:---------:----------:----------:----------:
| Label A | Label B  | Label C  | Label D  |
:---------:----------:----------:----------:
| Value A | Value B  | Value C  | Value D  |
:---------:----------:----------:----------:
|Value A' |Value B'  |Value C'  |Value D'  |
:---------:----------:----------:----------:

Any ideas on how to approach this? Thanks :)

you can add a header and then style it in css to look like as if it part of the table – Aboodred1 May 6 at 15:36

The Views UI supports this.

Once you have your View configured, click on the "Settings" link in the Format section. You will then see a table that allow you to choose which column each field should appear in. See screenshot below. In this example, if you wanted the Author uid and Nid fields to appear in the same column, you would just select Author uid from the select list next to Nid (or vice versa).

You can also try theme_table and colspan attribute

$header = array( array('data' => 'Header A', 'colspan' => 2), array('data' => 'Header B', 'colspan' => 2));
$rows[] = array('Label A', 'Label B', 'Label C', 'Label D');
$rows[] = array('value A', 'value B', 'value C', 'value D');
$rows[] = array('value A', 'value B', 'value C', 'value D');
$rows[] = array('value A', 'value B', 'value C', 'value D');
$output = theme('table', array('header' => $header, 'rows' => $rows, 'attributes' =>  $attributes));

print $output;
