Question I've written a report that has a grouped field and it has text before that grouped field. As an example, this is what the layout looks like.

Name Name  <- This field is grouped

Title      Title  

City      City  

However, when I run the report, it outputs like this.

Name Jeremy Hartman

Title    Support Technician

City    Perry

Name

Title

City

What could be the problem?

Answer Currently, there isn't a way to insert text before a grouped field. The group functions on the field and prevents it from outputting multiple times, but if text is inserted, that text is output for each record.

Resolution To fix this, you would need to remove either the grouping or the text before the grouped field.
