SSRS grouping giving blank rows - reporting-services

Apologies for the simple question but it's driving me crazy.
I am trying to show how many items a surveyor has seen in a year. I am counting the unique identifier as the expression for the number of items seen.
I have added grouping and included my sum within the groups as per the report link here:- (I'm new so can't post pics yet)
https://i.stack.imgur.com/vZNUM.png
But when I preview it, it shows a blank row next to the sum.
Report in preview
So the first row shows 19 and there are 19 blank rows in the column next to it. I try to delete that column but then I get the message table must include one column.
What am I doing wrong and wht is the right way to do this?
Many thanks for any help

The bit that's left over on the right is the "Details" region - essentially where you want the detail of your report to live.
Try putting your sum() in there, deleting the "Details" group, and deleting the column where your sum() is now.

[SSRS][SharePoint] How to avoid display the elements when counting on a group by tablix?

New to SSRS, we asked me to create a simple report on SSRS, linked to a Sharepoint List.
The Report consists of a tablix with two columns: Client and the number of orders they passed.
The first column is only containing the sharepoint field "Client Name", and the report generate automatically a list of Clients based on the content of the Sharepoint List. The Column is also used as a group by to the Tablix, to group the results by Client Name.
My second column is an expression :
=Count(Fields!ID.Value, "Client")
The column is working nearly accordingly to my willing : the report displays the number of orders by client in the list, but... When a client has more than one order, the count is displayed the same number of times.
How can i prevent that? I tried a Running Value solution, or only count.. But if the results are not the right one, the same problem is occuring : The report tablix have as much rows than elements list.
Picture for helping, because my english is far for perfect.

You can set client column in group expression in Details section. Check below screen shot, It will help you.

SSRS Report Custom Sorting rows

I have report which shows data of site and some values of each calender week. There is 1 row which contains values for whole group. I want group row on top and other sites alphabetically. I tried to sort but group row does not come on top. I cannot manually sort it 1 by 1 as sites column is random as sites may vary every week, is it possible somehow to have GROUP row on top always and other sites below?
I want sorting like given in screenshot
You need to "add total - before" to row groups.
You could right click "Details" in Row Group to "add total->before". In addition, if you want to sort column, you also could refer to this post
and this post for details.

Most Efficient Way to Display Multiple SQL Rows as a Single Row with Sub-Rows in SSRS Report?

The goal is to take the data shown in the "SQL rows returned" portion of the image and display it in the "How report should look" portion of the image. It's currently being done using a sub-report that takes titleID, languageID, beginDate, and endDate as a parameters from the main report. However, it's really slow to run when a significant number or records are returned. My question is "Is there a more efficient way to accomplish the same thing in the main report w/o using a subreport?" If more information is needed to properly assess this problem, I'll be glad to add it tomorrow. Thank you!
Purely looking at the image.. all you need to do is put a tablix on your main report add a parent group of title_id..
Then delete the column that is created to the left (but NOT the group)
Right click on the detailed group -> insert row outside group. This will create a row inside the Title_id group but Outside the detail group.
In this line.. add the title ID, name etc.
The detail lines will show the details.. obviously.. You need to play around a bit to figure out the rest of it..
It looks to be a fairly straight forward report.. not sure why you need to use a subreport for this

How do I remove/delete a total added to an SSRS group?

I cannot believe that I am asking this question. It seems like it should be so simple. I have already spent a bunch of time online looking for the answer.
I am using Visual Studio 2012 to develop an SSRS report.
All I need to do is remove a total row from a tablix. Essentially I want to reverse what this guidance from MSDN shows on how to add a total row. I can remove the content from the row easily enough, but now I have a empty row. I don't want an empty row. (Notice the blank row to the right of the CR group label.)
Here's how I created the total row.
Ok, so this was fairly simple. Must have been a brain cramp ! Basically in design view on the report, you just need to select the cells that were added by the Add Total (which is NOT the entire row) and then right click and choose Delete Rows

SSRS issue in Sharepoint 2010. Blank columns

The images below show "Linked Room" not returning any value.
The issue is when 1st row returns a linked room with a blank value all others come as blank.
The moment i delete 1st entry all the rows are displayed properly as shown in 2nd image.
Can anyone help me find why is this issue coming?
Had to specifically provide column names in the CAML query as shown below:
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">GetListItemsResponse/GetListItemsResult/listitems/data/row{#Column1,#Column2,#Column3,#Column4,#column5,#column6,#column7}</ElementPath>
