Splitting Apex column to two sub columns

Hello Guys,

I am trying to split Apex column into two sub columns. How do we do this in VisualForce.

I am using the below code :
    <apex:pageBlockTable border="true" align="center" value="{!lstwrapper}" var="x" >  
           
           <apex:column headerValue="Admin Ticket" style="text-align:center" colspan="2">
               
            </apex:column>

             <apex:column headerValue="Answer Sheet" style="text-align:center"  colspan="2">
               
            </apex:column> 
            <apex:column headerValue="Exam Book" style="text-align:center"  colspan="2">
               
            </apex:column>
   
        </apex:pageBlockTable>




I need two sub columns under 3 main columns.
Ex:        Admin Ticket
               AM     PM

<apex:column> can not be by itself and will repeat for each record. Moreover you can nest this tag since it has to be a direct child of repeat tags. Easiest solution will be to use HTML.
 

<apex:repeat value="{!lstwrapper}" var="x" >  
<table>
  <tr >
    <th colspan="2">Admin Ticket</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th>AM</th>
    <th>pm</th>
  </tr>

</table>
</repeat>


thanks

Thanks for the help Shashi. It did help. Used the repeat tag and was able to present the data in a table the way I wanted. However, I got a problem when I had more than 1000 rows.

" Collection size 1,066 exceeds maximum size of 1,000. " 

Did not understand the error as the List / Map can hold 10000 items (my understanding).
