I am becoming VERY frustrated with this reporting tool and the way it deals with grouping. The documentation is no help at all. It throws lots of concepts at you without really explaining what they mean.
What I want to do should really be very basic. This is a simple assembly output, with a master part, and then it's component parts. This should be the simplest type of group to produce yet I've been struggling with days on this and I am way past my deadline. PLEASE HELP.
Here is what I want:
PART NUMBER QTY
ASSEMBLY_PART_NUMBER 1
COMPONENT_PART_1 2
COMPONENT_PART_2 3
ASSEMBLY_PART_NUMBER_2 2
COMPONENT_PART_1 4
COMPONENT_PART_2 6
Based on what I'm reading, I should be able to accomplish this easily with a table.
How I would expect it to work is:
The heading row is outside the group. The assembly part rows are the grouped row by the assembly part number, then the component part rows are a child detail group under the assembly part group.
This is not at all the behavior I am seeing. When I try to add parent and child groups it doesn't add a new row as I expect, it adds a new column, which just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
Please help me get on the right track with this!

Hello James,
Keep in mind that you can add a Parent Row Group and Parent Column Group when you are adding Parent Groups and you should be careful when choosing this from the Table context menu.
Anyway by adding two row groups by Assembly(Parent group) and Component(Child group) part you could achieve your requirements. Also in order to display the groups as you showed in your post you can use Static groups to rearrange the data accordingly. We've attached report and a video to represent the above approach.
We also recommend reviewing the CrossTab demo report that shows similar implementation.
All the best,
