SSRS Repeating group headers?

Question

I have this data

DateRecived      JObNumber         REcCnt
20130626          1234               1
20130627          1238               11
20130628                   


        

Answer 1

Here's a small example with some mock data that should be more or less analogous to your situation.

The dataset:

 Market    SubMarket
 ------    ---------
  A         1
  A         2
  A         3
  B         4
  B         5
  B         6
  B         7

Here are the steps I've taken to create the table:

1) Drag/drop a new, fresh table to the designer.

2) Drag/drop the SubMarket field to the first column.

3) Right-click the detail row and add a new parent group.

4) Group on Market and choose to add a group header row.

As you've already noted, SSRS "helps" and adds an extra column.

5) Right-click the extra (first) column and delete it.

6) Select the cell in the header row for the group and enter "[Market]", or pick it from the quick-list.

7) Finish up by filling in the other fields/columns/cells. For the header row drag/drop won't work, you'll have to pick the fields for that row yourself (or type 'em).

This is the resulting table in preview (with some emphasis on the header row):

For your solution you have to add all the other rows in detail section other than the fields on which you want to apply the group by.
