Question

SqlDataReader myReader1 = null;
SqlCommand myCommand1 = new SqlCommand("SELECT Standard_Note_Code,     COUNT(Standard_Note_Code) as Count FROM [Excel_table] where Standard_Note_Creator_Name =  '" + ddlrep.Text + "' and (Std_Note_Date_Entered >= '" + datefrom + "' and Std_Note_Date_Entered <= '" + dateto + "') group by Standard_Note_Code", myConnection);

myReader1 = myCommand1.ExecuteReader();
myReader1.Read();

gvsummary.Visible = true;
if (myReader1.HasRows)
{                    
    gvsummary.DataSource = myReader1;
    gvsummary.DataBind();

}
else
{
    myReader1.Close();
    //myConnection.Close();
    //Label2.Text = "No Records Exist";
}
myReader1.Close();

Answer 1

Remove myReader1.Read();, after ExecuteReader. That line causes the grid to start reading from the 2nd position.
