Scenario: the desired output is like this: a multicolumn output from a straight table in QlikView™

Solution: create a multicolumn layout for the detail band.

Click on the little arrow on the detail band header, while the band is selected.

In the drop menu Multi-Column mode select Use Column Count, then in the menu Multi-Column Layout choose first across then down or vice versa, then choose the number of columns to appear in the report.

Then add to the band the objects (beware that you cannot use the whole band) and go to print preview.
