SSRS Table - How to re-create a deleted column for RowGroup - reporting-services

When you add a row group in a report, Visual Studio automatically adds a "Row Group Column", at the left, that results in a cell that spans for all the rows that conform the group:

Most of the time I delete those columns, and place a title in the row-group header, like this:

But now I have found that I need that Row-Group Column back.
Is there a way to re-create it without having to redesign all my table again?

SSRS: Adding Column headers that have multi-row descriptions

I wish to have multi-row Column headers on a table, per this image:
I have tried this:
Inserting another table into the column header, so it is a nested table.
Result: second header row repeats for every Data row, because the nested table is also bound to the dataset.
Use separate tables, 1st for the headers(bound to a 1 record dataset) and 2nd for the data (which has no headers). Then just lined them up to look like one table.
Result: Does not carry the header across pages. Which is required.
I am using SSDT in Visual studio 2017 to build the report.
Is this possible?
Right click the existing header row and "Insert New Row" e.g.
Then select cells and use the "Merge Cells" for your first header row.

How to group by some column and show grouped value within existed another column

I would like to implement grouping, where values I need group by, may be shown within other existed column.
Please, see screenshot:
How can I do it by SSRS v14.0?
STart by building your report with the details rows, then right-click the detail row in the row group panel below the main report design.
Do "Add Group" then "Parent Group". Choose the field that contains Buy/Sell and tick the "Add group header" option.
A new column will be added with the buy/sell field added. Delete this new column and then in the original column above instrument name, click the cell and choose the Buy/Sell field.
This should give you what you want.

Creating group header fields in SSRS report with child values based on existing crystal report

Currently I am upgrading a crystal report as an SSRS format. But this report has been tricky in which it has multiple group headers that have sub headers and data associated to them.
I have been researching for about an hour or so attempting different solutions to replicate the report and the solution that I thought would work below seems to be close but I can't get the fields to be a stepped as how it is in the crystal report where the rows are stacked neatly with data presented for each row.
Solution found online that is pretty close but does not have a result of data stepped:
Insert Table
First field make a parent row group and have "add group header" checked
Right click on parent field just created and select to insert "new row outside below"
Drag over sub field name
With data fields needing to be present under sub field I added those as child fields
Images of my work:
After some trials runs I finally figured out the setup:
Insert Table
Right click on "Details" in row groups
Add parent group of you first header row in your report (mine was scheduled ship date)
Right click details and add another parent for your second header row as so its above "Details" but below your first parent group
Now things may look strange since you have two columns with your parents
Now what you want to do is have only one column in your table that consists of three rows
What you will now do is copy the bracket values for instance [sch_ship_date] over to the column and do the same for the second parent group
Once that is done you will delete the first two columns since they were extra created during the adding parent groups process
So now you should only have one table that contains your two parent groups in order and an empty details field (your third row)
Now since the groups are embedded technically you will delete the values in the fields but do not delete the groups you added.
After there are no values in your table but you still have three rows you will insert a rectangle for each row. Each rectangle will be a place holder for your data set fields.
For the fields your data set fields you want to set there properties as "keep contents together on a single page"

How can I prevent a table from repeating in SSRS?

I have a SSRS report with two tables. One is built from the SQL code and made up of expressions - it's basically a report card that creates a new row for each subject that the student studies.
Below that, I have created another table which only has text, and is in no way utilizing the SQL dataset. However, for every row created by the first table, the second table is duplicated. For example, if the student has 7 subjects, then the second table will be repeated 7 times. Is there any way to prevent this?
The easiest option is to use textbox instead of table if you are only using that table as a text area but if you don't want to use a textbox just delete the details group that gets set up by default during creation of table. http://prntscr.com/8wy2by. So that leaves the header only and it will not repeat. If you want to add more row you could right click on the left side of that header and select insert row. See this image http://prntscr.com/8wy2lc.
I hope you get the point. :)

Visual Studio Reporting Service Reports 2008

I am trying to generate a report that has 2 lines per record(or row) returned by the query. Simply the first row will hold certain fields but before it returns the next row/record..it generates a subrow as you may call it that holds an additional field. Is this possible? I have another idea of doing this and it would be to just add the extra field on the end of the row and wrap the row to fit on the page thus making it appear 2 lines per record/row returned.
I'm a total noob when it comes to using tablix and these reports so details would be great!
In the report designer, right-click on the detail row header (the gray area, should have 3 horizontal lines), and select Insert Row -> Inside Group (either above or below, depending on where you want the row).
This will add a new row to the current group, with the current group being your detail rows. You can then add fields and text to the second row, and both will show up for each dataset record when the report is run.
