Hi!
I'm having a problem with the templateColumn. I can have a merged header, but for some reason, there's no way I can edit the value of the items under that column. I've been reading as many post as I could, but no answer so far.
I've tried different approaches, but the last best I could do was this:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" EnableAJAX="True" ShowStatusBar="true" runat="server" Skin="Default" BorderColor="#97A222" Width="95%"

AutoGenerateColumns="False" PageSize="16" AllowSorting="True" AllowMultiRowSelection="False"

AllowAutomaticDeletes="True" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True"

AllowPaging="False" AllowScroll = "True" GridLines="None" OnDetailTableDataBind="RadGrid1_DetailTableDataBind" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">

<MasterTableView Width="100%" DataKeyNames="Name" AllowMultiColumnSorting="True">

<DetailTables>

<telerik:GridTableView DataKeyNames="Name" DataMember="Details" Width="100%" GridLines="Horizontal"

AllowAutomaticDeletes="True" AllowAutomaticUpdates="True"

Style="border-color: #d5b96a" CssClass="RadGrid2">

<Columns>

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn UpdateText="Update" UniqueName="EditCommandColumn" CancelText="Cancel"

EditText="Edit">

<HeaderStyle Width="85px"></HeaderStyle>

</telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Name" HeaderText="Name" ReadOnly = "True" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Name">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn">

<HeaderTemplate>

<table id="Table1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="300" border="1">

<tr>

<td colspan="2" align="center"><b>Revenue Growth Strategy</b></TD>

</tr>

<tr>

<td width="50%"><b>Drive organic growth</b></TD>

<td width="50%"><b>Global expansion</b></TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

</HeaderTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

<table id="Table2" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="300" border="1">

<tr>

<td width="50%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem , "Drive organic growth")%></TD>

<td width="50%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Global expansion")%></TD>

</tr>

</table>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Drive organic growth" HeaderText="Drive organic growth" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Drive organic growth">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Global expansion" HeaderText="Global expansion" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Global expansion">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Market new products and services" HeaderText="Market new products and services" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Market new products and services">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Operational improvement" HeaderText="Operational improvement" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Operational improvement">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Technology initiatives" HeaderText="Technology initiatives" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Technology initiatives">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Customer convenience" HeaderText="Customer convenience" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Customer convenience">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

</Columns>

</telerik:GridTableView>

</DetailTables>

<Columns>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn SortExpression="Name" HeaderText="Name" HeaderButtonType="TextButton"

DataField="Name">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

</Columns>

</MasterTableView>

</telerik:RadGrid>

I'll appreciate any help.

Ok, I coded the solution myself.
Gotta use EditItemTemplate with a couple of textboxes.
Hope you find it useful!

<EditItemTemplate>

<table id="Table2" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="300" border="1">

<tr>

<td width="50%"><asp:TextBox ID="txtDescription" Text='<%# Bind( "DriveOrganicGrowth") %>' runat="server"></asp:TextBox></TD>

<td width="50%"><asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" Text='<%# Bind( "GlobalExpansion") %>' runat="server"></asp:TextBox></TD>

</tr>

</table>

</EditItemTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

<table id="Table2" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="300" border="1">

<tr>

<td width="50%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem , "DriveOrganicGrowth")%></TD>

<td width="50%"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "GlobalExpansion")%></TD>

</tr>

</table>

</ItemTemplate>
