District2

The way data is stored in database is:

District      StoreName       Product       Price       Qty

District1     XYZ Store       Product1      10          6

District1     XYZ Store       Product2       8          5

District2     XYZ Store       Product1       11         5

District2     XYZ Store       Product2       10         4

District3     ABC Store       Product1       10         5

District3     ABC Store       Product2       7          8

I tried using List control for repeating the group of rows but no luck so far. please help.

Answer 1

• Don’t use a list control. Use a Table control instead.
• Add a group (without group headers or footers) for store name.
• Add a group (with a group header) for District, as a parent group of StoreName. Delete the grouping column for District and add the District field into the group header for District, in the StoreName grouping column.
