Hello,
I think this is hopefully an easy question for somebody. I have a table
with a couple groups embedded in it. I want each group to be indented
further inward. There's an example (image only, no source) in the BIRT Help
under "Grouping Data". The image is about 3/4 of the way down in a row of 3
reports samples. I'm trying to make one like the one titled "Customer
Orders".
Something like this...
GROUP 1 TITLE
GROUP 2 TITLE
Colum1 Column2 Colum3
a b c
c d e
f g h
I've got my headers and data coming out correctly, but I can't figure out
how to indent the "detail" row.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi wins,
Thanks for the response. That might be the only way to do it, but it's not
quite what I was hoping for. That will push the data in the cell over rather
than pushing the entire row/cols over. So what may happen, for example, is
data in that cell gets wrapped onto a second row causing me to have to
resize the column (not a big deal), but then my subtotals in the footers are
not aligned anymore, so then I have to go add a bunch of padding to those as
well... plus column headers, etc.
I can just see this turning into a layout & maintenance nightmare. I'm
wondering if there are any more 'concrete' ways of doing this to have BIRT
manage the alignment and keep everything happy. Otherwise, your suggestion
may work for the time being. Thanks!

Attached is an example report that I think does the group indenting you
are looking for. To recreate, create a report, add a table, drag in your
detail columns. Then right click on the table and insert your groups.
Once they have been added, make sure the columns you defined the groups
over are in their own column with the top level group in the first
column, and the next level group in the second column, etc. Then select
the cell for the top level group and all of the cells to the right of
it, right click and select merge. Do the same with all of the remaining
groups. You can then resize the columns to get the groups to overlap and
be indented.
To get the detail row headers to appear below all of the group breaks,
at the lowest level group right click on the row and select
Insert-Row-Below. Now move your detail row headers to this group header row.

Thank you very much. That was a huge help. It all makes sense now and
things are lining up nicely.
