Had a requirement recently to do two complex Reports with two Groups.
First Report has
Group A Header
Group B Header
Detail
Group B Footer
Group A Footer
The second report is...
Group B Header
Group A Header
Detail
Group A Footer
Group B Footer
So, the issue was that I am really lazy and did not want to have to rebuild the second report as there is no way to reorder the Groups and it would be a LOT of work with all the Totals etc.
After nearly running out of options I wondered..... What would happen if I created a New Group with the same name as the first Group... Group A
Well.... low and behold I ended up with this...
Group A Header
Group B Header
Group A Header
Detail
Group A Footer
Group B Footer
Group A Footer
AND!!!!.... The New Group inherited all of the tag and text elements of the first Group A. All I needed to do was reset the Group Condition on the New Group A and Bingo.
Now you can just delete the original Group A and finally left with
Group B Header
Group A Header
Detail
Group A Footer
Group B Footer
BAM! 4 Hour Job turned into 5 Minutes.
Enjoy!
