  Hi All,

  I'm Getting a little frustrated with the matrix report not being able to achieve what we had in mind for our report. We are wanting to report on 3 year numbers for Sales and Customer numbers

  We would like

  Region | Yr1 - Sales | Yr2 - Sales | Yr3 - Sales | Yr1 - Numbers | Yr2 Numbers | Yr3 - Numbers

  Basically we would like to group the sales together first, followed by the numbers second.

  But I do not seem to be able to create the two groups, every time I try I get an output of

  Region | Yr1 - Sales | Yr1 - Numbers | Yr2 - Sales | Yr2 - Numbers | Yr3 Sales | Yr3 - Numbers

  I'm sure there is a simple solution to the problem, the best I can think of is Union ALL on a query that selects the same data but surely there is an easier way?

  Thanks

  Eliza

  Eliza,

  <cheat sheet>Region | Yr1 - Sales | Yr2 - Sales | Yr3 - Sales | Yr1 - Numbers | Yr2 Numbers | Yr3 - Numbers

  What if you had a tablix with Region in the left column and then a nested matrix for Sales and another for Numbers? So in HTML-speak...

  <table>

  <tr>

  <td>Region</td><td>SalesMatrix</td><td>NumbersMatrix</td>

  </tr>

  and you joined the two by the Region? (create a subreport and link by Region).
