Had the "aha" feeling recently when finally getting a Table View to

Well, Excel and other spreadsheets have figured out how to allow
empty cells to the right of a cell to be used to display a cell
containing a long string.
Well, you can define spanning cells, but you will have to do all the
related work manually:
* span the cells, if they are empty
* unset the span, if neighbor cells get populated, etc.
Thanks for the response.
I will have to investigate spanning cells. Wonder if the span stays
with a visible row, or moves with the data when scrolling? And if it
would slow down things significantly, after I've just sped them up with
the TableView?
By default, PyQt doesn't seem to do that.
Yes, of course, because in 99% of all table view usages, this behavior
is, ahem, undesirable.
In that case, I have constrained myself to 1% of all table view usages:
I have always found this behavior extremely useful in spreadsheets and
database views. I wonder if your 99% number has statistics behind it,
or is only an estimate based on your experience?
