Hello,

I have a Dataset with: Company, Depot, Account, Year Period, Ethical, Glaxo, Drug, Surgical, General, PI, Misc, Phone, PostCode, CustomerName, DepotName, SalesMan, Salesman Number, Drug, General, Status.

I have used Visual Studio to create a report. In design view i have created two tables.The first table contains:

Account, CustomerName, Phone, DepotName, SalesMan, Salesman Number, Depot, PostCode.

I have created a second table above using the fields: Account, CustomerName, DepotName, SalesMan, Salesman Number, Depot, PostCode.

So in essense when the report is run the Account details will be shown first and then the Sales Details will be shown below.

What is happening when i run the report is that the Account Details in the first table are appearing multiple times as opposed to only once.

I assume this is due to the number of periods and year in the Sales fields.

Can anyone suggest a solution to enable me to view the Account details per Sales in a report.

Please provide the current report along with what the report should look like,

But it sounds me that you need to add some grouping, but cannot be sure without seeing what you have now and what you want it to actually look like.

The report is supposed to look like:

Account1, Account, Custome, Phone, PostCode, Group, Status, Depot, SalesMan, Salesman Number

Account, Year, Period, Ethical, Glaxo, Drug, Generic, Surgical, General, PI, Misc, Specials.

The second line works correctly. I have Grouped on Account and created a page break so that you can see the Account sales on One Page.

Yes I get that, but what does it look like now when you run the report, and what is wrong with it so I know what I need to do to make it your required output.

Hello,
As i mentioned i would like the Account Details to show in the first table and in the second table the sales data.

So in image (first.png) the Account details for one Account should be displayed. When you run the report, If you click the next page button you see the same customer details 10 times. (The same account details per page). This happens with each account.

When you get to a certain page e.g. 7000, you then begin to see the start of the Account Sales (two.png).

I need the corresponding Account to show with the sales details on the same page.

Thanks

As Anthony.Green mentioned, it sounds like you need to be grouping your data in the first table. Without seeing a sample dataset it's difficult to provide info on what to group by -- I'd be guessing if I simply said group by Account...

Send a screenshot of the grouping section for each table so we have a better understanding of what that looks like.
