You can use multiple Lotus Notes document fields in a single column to show data by using the @explode command with Formula language.

For example, let's say you have a budget table that you want to see in a Lotus Notes view. Just follow these steps:

Note: You can use the totals, averages, etc. properties like you would normally.

MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS TIP

This tip explains that it is for a Lotus Notes view, but a Lotus Notes view can only show nine rows from a single record in a column. This would work well on a Web-enabled system, which does not have the nine-row limitation.

regg. This trick actually does work in the Lotus Notes client side. I've tested and used this trick in a Lotus Notes Domino production environment for six months. Even now, there is one Lotus Notes document that has 24 rows, all of which are correct.
