That stack really does not help, we already understood how but not what and when you are trying to do.
Again, please answer these questions:
So you have fixed values (70, 30, 60) after which the "column break" should happen?
Or any other "rule" for this?

We need to know WHEN the column-break has to happen or we cannot help you out!

fixed values (70, 30, 60)
Um . . .

How about counting up to 10 and then starting a new column?

Forgetting that TAB plays 'silly buggers' after strings of different length.

Hi Klaus,

I'm not sure if this is correct since it is per line once it reached line 7 ("L7") it will create a column or tab and start at Line 1 (L1) this will be "Col2" and once it the reached line 7 ("L7") it will create a column or tab and start at Line 1 (L1) this will be "Col3. the column will end if col3 reached line 7 ("L7").

Thanks Klaus.
