Hi,

I am constructing a report with the Report Designer in which I want to create a form of visual grouping by hiding duplicate data.

My data is this:

foo 2006-01-01 12
foo 2006-01-01 32
foo 2006-02-02 345
bar 2006-01-02 1534
bar 2006-03-03 345
bar 2006-03-03 234

And this is how I want it to be: (too bad I can't use html in this forum, just ignore the dots)

foo | 2006-01-01 | 12
.... | ................ | 32
.... | 2006-02-02 | 345
bar | 2006-01-02 | 1534
.... | 2006-03-03 | 345
.... | ................ | 234

I can achieve the basics, only the grid renders all cell borders. So instead on 'foo' being one vertically merged cell, it shows two empty cells below it.

How to do this? It should be something like merging cells vertically, but how to combine it with duplicate data? Or am I on the wrong track and should I do this with another technique?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

I think there is a setting "Hide duplicate values" you can set.
