Complex headers (using colspan / rowspan) can be used to group columns of similar information in DataTables, creating a very powerful visual effect. In addition to the basic behaviour, DataTables can also take colspan and rowspans into account when working with hidden columns. The colspan and rowspan attributes for each cell are automatically calculated and rendered on the page for you. This also allows the ColVis extra for DataTables to work great with hidden columns.
