Can someone please clarify this for me.
If you have a table in a report that has data groupings on more than one value, i.e. Grouping by Company, Department, Manager etc. the groups are dependant upon each other, so by removing a parent group report will remove all subs dependant upon it?
So the question is this. I wonder if there is a way of "union" two groups in such way in a table so that if you have:

CompanyA
...DepartmentA(OfCompnayA)
...DepartmentB(OfCompanyA)

CompanyB
...DepartmentA(OfCompnayB)
...DepartmentB(OfCompanyB)

one can "union" it to be displayed as such:

CompanyA
...DepartmentA(OfCompnayA)
...DepartmentB(OfCompanyA)
...DepartmentA(OfCompnayB)
...DepartmentB(OfCompanyB)

Because currently if I try and hide row CompanyB it hides all subs under it. i.e. DepartmentA(OfCompnayB) and DepartmentB(OfCompnayB).

Thank you

You might have bring the hierarchial data as various levels from db and apply various level filters on report detail rows.

Yeah, that sounds like what I had in mind... I was just unsure if SSRS was capable of such thing. Mostly I found its much easier to get DB doing all of the logic and SSRS just plain and blunt representation of raw data in a not too clever way... I guess its merely because of the product being fairly new.
