Hi i am using report builder 7. given the following tables
it will be grouped using the bookid and print the corresponding author_name.

author_tbl
bookid author_name
123 michael john
123 gary aure
345 randy amata
345 alwil delos santos

the output will be like these

bookid 123
michael john gary aure
bookid 345
randy amata alwil delos santos

or like these

bookid 123
michael john, gary aure
bookid 345
randy amata, alwil delos santos

is this one possible?

Hi Alvin,

Unfortuately horizontal traversal is very limited in ReportBuilder. If you
set up a columnar report with LeftToRight traversal
(DetailBand.ColumnTraversal) you may be able to get a result similar to the
one you describe below however I believe the groupings may cause a problem.
My suggestion would be to play around with different setups dealing with
columns and groups and see if any of the outcomes meet your standards.
