Rdlc with two "synchronized tables"

I'm using rdlc files to generate pdf files.
What I basically want to do to is to display the data of my data set on two "synchronized" tables.
The image below represents the result I would like to obtain:
The image represents one page of the pdf, on which the data is group by a certain attribute of the dataset.
Please tell me if any clarification is needed, it's hard for me to explain clearly.

How can i do that with 2 tables as a single object?
I managed to do this with a Tablix as the container. Add two lines of header and add another two Tablix to each cell of header with data. You cannot use Data row, you have to remove it. You can add a Tablix to a cell with drag and drop.
In the end, you will have something like :
Probably something alike can be achieved with subreports, but I'm not familiar with them.
EDIT:
Added screenshot
I believe this is what you want to see. 1 column, 3 rows Tablix. In Cells(1,1) and (3,1) you have other Tablix objects that you can customize.

rdlc - Concatenate 2 tablix - same dataset - synchronization lost..,

Since i haven't find a way to merge colunms cells in rdlc, I've tried to concatenate 2 tablixes horizontaly- one is "standard" table, and the other is one field (those were my needs).
Running my sp on my rdlc, it works fine where there is one record to display.
However, when the result is multiple records, and I'm saving results in .pdf file, the 2 tables are not "synchronized" together any more - the gaps between results of each records are different.
I've tried to surrender the tablixes in rectangle and define a page break after rectangle - table still not synchronized...
Please advice..... ☺

Combine your two tablix into one. You can create the appearance of having two by putting an empty column between the two "sides" with no borders on top or bottom of the cells. It will look like two tables side by side, even though it is one table, and the rows will be forced to line up horizontally.

Another possibility for you is to have a sub-report. Create a simple report of just the tablix of the second table in question of the field(s) you want to include.
Then edit your primary report to include the sub-report. I cant direct in detail now how to link-up the sub reports and parameter link them, but suggest some reading up on it. So Each detail row in the parent report would be a group by (its PKID for example), then add the sub-report to it. This way as many rows at the sub-level go if 1 or more...

DataTable columns inside columns or merged row table structure

I've had a Google but I find no answer. You know how say in MS Word, when you insert a table, you can merge the columns of one single row to create a column-less row? Or have say a main header and then more columns inside it? Like so:
Merged Row:
|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|
|Value|Value|Value|
|Merged Row|
|Value|Value|Value|
God the text formatting is awful on this web-site...and the Header Column example:
|Main Header||Another Main Header|
|Column 1|Column2||Column1|Column2|
I'm trying to achieve this in a written DataTable in C# which is being populated by an array. But I'm interested in changing its structure as one of the above, whichever is possible/easier.
So I've created my DataTable and added normal columns and rows etc. But I'd like to create either a merged row or a main header to display. Instead of having a repeated value in a single column for the values I am getting.
Can someone please provide a quick example on how I could achieve either one of those? Because repeated value will just look ugly.
Cheers.

You're talking about displaying data in a particular way but a
DataTable has nothing to do with display. It is for storage and that's
that. How you display the data is up to you. The same data can be
displayed in innumerable different ways. In a WinForms app, one of the
most common ways to display the contents of a DataTable is with a
DataGridView. You can choose which columns to display and merge cells
in that grid if desired. In short, you're looking in the wrong place
to do what you want to do. It is a presentation issue, not a data
issue. –

How to limit column reorder to a few columns?

In my WPF application, I am using a DataGrid control. I allow the user to reorder columns. However, I have to ensure that the first two columns and the last column cannot be reordered.
All the columns are generated programmatically using new DataGridTextColumn().
I am wondering if someone can guide me on what I need to do to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for your help.

You can use the DataGrid.FrozenColumnCount Property to not allow the users to move columns.
However, if you look at the documentation, you will see that you can only do this for the first x columns from the left side of the DataGrid. For example, if you set the FrozenColumnCount to 2, the two left columns in the display are frozen.

Use DataGridColumn.CanUserReorder property (set tis property to false for columns, which can't be reordered).

Merge gridview header or merge sub headers of grid view

I know there is possibility to merge gridview columns but my requirement is some thing different from that I would like to have my gridview as follows
Is it possible to do and also I would like to bind the string values which i will get in a string array.. I would like to create the grid view dynamically and bind the data as per the strings I have is it possible to do.

I had similar situation and ask question few months back. Pivot table help me to solve the issue. check this out.
