SSRS: repeat tablix row group value on each row

Question

I already consulted SSRS: repeat tablix left-most row group value on each row but didn't get quite the answer I need (I'm open to get corrected).

I've got the issue that I need the group value repeated in an Excel export but also need a total row after the group value changes. So my table is built up like this:

                            [values1] [values2] [TOTAL by group2]
[group1] [group2] [group3]  ###.##    ####.## 
                  [TOTAL]   ###.##    ####.##   ####.##

And my expected result should be:

                            Hours Jan  Hours Feb  TOTAL by Person
Categrory1  Person1  Task1  5.5        4.5
            Person1  Task2  3.0        7.0
            Person1  TOTAL  8.5       11.5        20.0
            Person2  Task3  1.0        0.0
            Person2  Task4  2.0        0.0
            Person2  TOTAL  3.0        0.0         3.0
Catergory2  Person3  Task1  .....

But what I get now is:

                            Hours Jan  Hours Feb  TOTAL by Person
Categrory1  Person1  Task1  5.5        4.5
                     Task2  3.0        7.0
                     TOTAL  8.5       11.5        20.0
            Person2  Task3  1.0        0.0
                     Task4  2.0        0.0
                     TOTAL  3.0        0.0         3.0
Catergory2  Person3  Task1  .....

What leads to the problem, that users aren't able to filter by group2 (person) in Excel.

Any advice is appreciated!

Answer 1

You should be able to remove the Person column without removing the group. Then, right-click the header of the Task column to insert a column on the left ("inside the group") and let the person's name display in that column.
