Assuming your products are in a channel called “products”:

And this page is located at (for category ID=4 ):

yoursite.com/products/category/4

<html>
<body>
 {exp:channel:categories category_group='{segment_3}'}
    {category_name}
 {/exp:channel:categories}
 <table>
 <thead>
 <tr>
  <th>Product Name</th>
  <th><!-- put all your column headers here --></th>
 </tr>
 </thead>
 <tbody>
  {exp:channel:entries channel='products' category='{segment_3}'}
  <tr>
   <td>{title}</td>
   <td>{<!-- other custom fields for that product… price, description, etc…--> }</td>
  </tr>
  {/exp:channel:entries}
 </tbody>
 </table>
</body>
</html>

is this what you are looking for?

Hi Roland,

You will want to wrap this in css or html, but let me know if this gets you closer to what you are looking for.

{exp:channel:category_heading channel="products"}
  <h3>Category: {category_name}</h3>
<p>  {if category_description !=""}{category_description}{/if}<br />
  {/exp:channel:category_heading}<br />
  {exp:channel:entries channel="products" category_group='{segment_3}'}<br />
      </p><h3><a href="http://{url_title_path=%27site/views%27}" class="products">{title}</a></h3>
<p>      {channel_field_with_content}<br />
  {/exp:channel:entries}

This should results in:

Category Header 1
Channel Header with Link
Channel Content

Category Header 2
Channel Header with Link
Channel Content

And so on ....

Cheers,
