but the article/s totally gloss over how to do certain things, like when the last link says

"In a tablix data region, click in the table, matrix, or list to display the Grouping pane. "

I have clicked in the table and there doesn't automatically pop up a grouping pane.

A note box says "If you do not see the Grouping pane, on the View tab, click Grouping." In my View tab there is no grouping.

Also, "Drag dataset fields to the Row Group and Column Group pane to create parent or child groups"

In a table there is no row group and column group, just headers and rows, so, what gives with all these links. Can you tell me how to do it with my simple example?

I am NOT using Report Builder, I am using SSRS 2008!
