Sure,

>From what you've written, it looks like your event model has
attributes called dreq_reqno, dreq_status and  dreq_create_time and
you've joined these together with the  event_detail method.

If this is the case, you could add a method in on of your helper files
(probably EventsHelper) that will build a table for you with all of
the desired columns and rows.

Here's an example:

  def events_table(events)
    concat "<table>"  # concat is equivelant to puts in this case
    for event in events do
      concat "<tr>" # you can write html tags or use the rails view
helpers
      concat content_tag(:td, event.attribute_1) # the first columns
attribute
      concat content_tag(:td, event.attribute_2) # the second columns
attribute
      concat "</tr>
    end
    concat "</table>"
    nil # important to return nil at the end of the helper method
  end

Writing html in a helper using the concat method can get a little
messy though. I would use a gem/plugin called markaby here as it's
much cleaner.

when adding a table in your view, you'd simply use <%= events_table
(@events) %>

Thinking about it, this would probably be easier in a parial:
# parial called events
<% content_tag :table do %>
  <% for event in events do %>
    <% content_tag :tr do %>
      <%= content_tag :td, event.attribute_1 %>
              ... etc
    <% end %>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

Then call <%= render :partial => 'events', :object => @events %> from
your view.
