Good day fellow programmers, I am designing a report for a company which includes a table with payroll information . I need the data to level out but dont matter what i try the sub report data ends up lower than the main report data , i need them to be level as it is a payroll report with detailed information .
i will attach a image in order for the table to be shown. I have been working on this for 1 month now and i still have not been able to finish it off.
In attached image , there should be no space above national insurance. It should be further up the report . right next to service charge.

I am assuming that the sub-report is in it's own section.  If so, have you tried overlaying the following section?  It is my best thought at the moment.

The sub report is in the group footer , alongside with the case and hours fields. I just need the details from the sub report to be level with those from the main report. can you explain your solution a little better as i do not understand entirely.

In the section expert, you can overlay a following section (Underlay Following Sections). This allows for a following section to overlay the previous section.  It works best when the sections are the same size.  Sometimes it takes some trial and error to get it to look the way you want.
