I have some data for a machine where i take readings everyday. I need to have the dates appearing in rows and the readings in columns as under :

Date...... Value 1... Value 2... Value 3
............1a 1b ....2a 2b .......3a
==================================================
2005/09/28
2005/09/27
2005/09/26
2005/09/25
2005/09/24

1a,1b,2a,2b and 3a are all stored in my table along with the machine name and dates .

How do I output this using class and grid (or any other function u can reco) such that it looks like an excel spreadsheet with grid lines, formatting, colours etc ?

Any and all advise welcome.
