but what i need is a red large one over all the green ones, like a title +/-

UPDATE:

my template:

my output(excel):

should i use other type of block? instead of block=c? any help will be appreciated

Here is some advices that may help for your template :

1. Avoid using block=begin/block=end by replacing the TBS tag [base;block=beging;sub1=trainees;sub2=modules] with [base;block=row+row+row+row+row;sub1=trainees;sub2=modules], and then delete tag [base;block=end]. This may not change things for now but this will prevent from further unexpected XML split.

2. Add parameter “p1” without value in the couple of [base_sub2] tags. Like this : [base_sub2.module;block=c;p1] and [base_sub2.test;block=c;p1]. This will make TBS to use multi-blocks instead of one block with alternating sections.

3. Add a TBS tag [base_sub2;block=c;p1] in the red cell “Modulos”.

4. Avoid using merged cells that can be moved after the merging (like cells in a block of cells under a block). That is because in Ms Excel, information of merged cells is saved separatlly of cells themselves. So it cannot not be duplicated simply be duplicating cells. Use cells formating instead. For example: use background colors, fore colors, borders for cells “Formados”, “Media Final”, “Situaciao Final”.
