Multifield Grouping

[Mark]

I've tried to search this down, but to date haven't found the answer and "trying" hasn't been succesful ..

With grouping by field, normally it looks logically like:

Field.One            (Logical level 1)
    Field.Two        (Logical level 2)
        Field.Three    (Logical level 3)

where the grouping creates a bit of a cascading hierachy which I understand.  Is it possible to concatenate or join fields for grouping at the report level? So for example I can do

Field.One + Field.Two    (Logical level 1)
    Field.Three                (Logical level 2)

... I receive odd results when trying this via an Expression.  Also null values supress data.

Thanks much.
Mark

Hi Mark,

The Grouping is structuring the report data based on criteria which is the datasource field you have specified. Concatenating two fields and setting it as group criteria does not yield a reasonable grouping criteria e.g. what if those fields are two string/text fields? What you need to do is add a second grouping criteria to a single group as shown in the Edit Grouping Dialog help article.
