    Posted: 28 Aug 2013 at 12:30pm
I have a report where I have related Data, I can group the data and get desired results. But I have multiple criteria, and only can seem to get the first one working. I tried a sub report, it shows what i am looking for, but it takes 10x more time to run.

Example.

Member ID, First, Last, MI, Relationship Code, Plans.

So I Group Plans and i get it working, I try to group Relationship Code and it only pulls the first row, and then pushes the rest of the records to the second page and third. Is there a way to take the results from a grouping into a text box and list everything ? rather then having to group in another section.

is the issue that your grouping is causing unwanted page breaks?

Maybe if you show some sample row level data nd how you want it to appear someone can assist in a process. i have a hunch you can use shared variables to insert a string of multipel values from differnt rows into a group footer but I do not have a clear understanding of what your data is nor how you need ot display it so it is just a guess.

So i think you want one 'group'  per member with different sections under that that show all of the values for  particular piece of information in that one section.

Consider grouping on the client (inlcude an ID or other unduplicated field to prevent accidently grouping on a same name for two distinct clients)
suppress the detail section
creata multiple group footers and then create shared variables to display the values you want in each of the group footers (this can convert row type data into a single string)
