How To…Keep Nested Groups Together

Question

“The report engine seems to become occationally confused when I try to keep nested groups together.  How do I work around this?”

Solution

Separate your nested groups into subreports.

-Main Report
–Group 1
–Subreport 1
—Group 2
—Subreport 2
—-Group 3 etc…

This will require you to rethink your data as you will now need to use a master detail structure to obtain the correct report.  See the example below on how this can be done.  Included is also how calculations should be made for a grand total in a report such as this one.
