Field grouping in Report Builder

Hi,

I build all my report with the report builder.

When I build a report that the first column is ID and I've several records with the same ID one after abnother the report is grouping the ID data (see 2 in the example below)

How can I cancel the grouping for report or for the entire environment?

example:

ID Date

1 1/1/1990

2 1/1/1990

1/1/2000

3 1/1/2005

Dear ,

Go to the data tab and remove the grouping.

Hi,

I'm building the report in Report Builder not report designer.

There is no data tab in the report builder.

Anyone?

You need to make sure you have an entity group, not a value group (i.e. grouping on a field). Check the label on the gray "tab" above the fields in the Report Builder design area to see what you are grouping by. If dragging in MyEntity.ID didn't give you an entity group on MyEntity, then you probably need to set MyEntity.DiscourageGrouping=True in your report model. Regardless, you can be sure to get an entity group if you actually drag the entity onto your report instead of a field.

Once you have an entity group, make sure you add any other fields to the same group. Usually they will go in by default, but if you specifically drop them on the far left edge, you will get a new group on that field.

Hope this helps!
