Not enough info... will you always have a max of 2 items. Also, it may make a difference if we knew why you wanted to do this.

How many items can you have? Also, should they all be in separate columns or ???

We're getting there... in the example you just gave, should 1 2 3 be in a single column or 3 columns? If 3 columns, what shall be their names?

same names jef , as column name is the row number , if u see the example structure in the first post of mine.
Sorry for the delay , but this is exactly the scenario.
thanks

Sorry... I'm still not getting it and I want to make sure... you posted the following...
for item : A B
1 2 3 5 6
... are you saying that the "1 2 3" should all be in one column and the "5 6" should be in another column like this?
[font="Courier New"] A | B
------+------
1 2 3 | 5 6[/font]
Thanks...

I don't know if it can be done in reporting services... header "cells" would need to be "merged" as if on a spreadsheet. I'm sure it can't be done in T-SQL... sorry.

Like I said in my previous post, I don't think spreading a single header over 3 columns can be done. I can combine columns to hold the "1 2 3" in a single column...

You can manually merge cells in RS (just like Excel), but not dynamically afaik. Probably not what you want...?

hi
that is not the way as 2 nd row elements belong to one column in a table and as per u , if i manually do , 2nd row elements split row after row, they wont come in one line.
like
A A
1 2 3 instead of that 1
2
3
it will dispaly this way.
Thanks
