SSRS format rows on report - reporting-services

I have a simple report that groups rows on PERSON then on DATE. I have these two groups in the grouping pane with the DETAILS GROUP below.
The trouble with this is that I end up with PERSON AND DATE appearing at the top of the first 2 columns on the left, but the rest of these two columns are just empty space which is wasting a lot of space on the left hand side of the page.
How can I format so that I keep the same grouping but have the PERSON and DATE appearing together on the first row only with all other data displayed below. This grouping would then show again as a single row whenever the group changes (which it does at the moment, but with loads of dead space on the page on the left hand side)
I've tried adding a 'column group' of PERSON AND DATE, but this ends up with the report being massive horizontally.
thanks

You could put your table control inside a list control and give them both the same datasource and grouping. Then put your PERSON and DATE fields in the list control and position them as you like. The table would only be there to display the detail and wouldn't have fields for PERSON and DATE.

Just Right click on the Grouping Column that was automatically added on the Tablix, and Delete that Column.
And, You have additional Two rows (Group header) above the Detail row : Person Group, and Date Group.
Simply, Select the Cells inside that Row, and Right click and Merge So, that you only have a Single Cell inside the Group Header. And, Write an expression inside that Cell according to your Group Header Requirement i.e. If you want to Show Person : PersonName in Group header of Person Group Then, Merge and Right click on that cell and Goto Expression then Type :
="Client : " + DataSet!Fields!FieldName
Do, the Same for the Another Date Group.
I hope you understoood.

Hiding a row if text box is hidden

I have a report that lists parts required for a job, and then within each part it has rows that show locations and quantities of parts on-hand. The main list has a header (part number, description, quantity) which is only shown once at the top because it is not within the grouping. However, the second header (on-hand quantity, location) is within the grouping so it repeats. I would like it to only show once.
I have tried using the hide duplicates property for the header text boxes, but this still leaves blank rows. I have also tried setting the row visibility using a comparison between ReportItem!lblOnHand.Value and Previous(ReportItem!lblOnHand.Value) but this gives me an aggregate error.
This is what the report is displaying now:
You need to set the row visibility rather than the individual text boxes. Right-click the row header to access the setting..
You should (untested) be able to use the same logic as you have now. If this does not work then you will need to test if the group is the first group and use that in the expression, something like...
=Fields!Partnumber.Value <> FIRST(Fields!Partnumber.Value, "myGroupOrDatasetNameHere")
The above would hide thew row if the part number in the current context is not the same as the first part number in the group or dataset name specified.

Put Group header above group instead of beside it in SSRS

I have a report group that currently looks like the image. It has row groups as follows:
It grouped in order like this:
Department
Agent
Year
Month
I have removed the columns with department and agent and year. I would like to put the agent and department above the column headers which repeat on each page along with the agent. I tried putting a row above the headers but you can't merge cells when adding a row above there and agent + department is very long. What I want is shown in 2nd image..I put the expression in a text box in the page header but it just repeats the first value on each page and not the actual value.
How to do? I want it above and not beside to save horizontal space.
Check these previous answers of mine. If they don't help, post the report design including group properties and I'll see what I can do.

SSRS Repeat table for each record of results

Apologies if I have missed it anywhere else but I can not find any examples of this.
I am pulling data from sql into SSRS and rather than have one row in a table per record, i want a table/group of tables to replicate per record with the ID field as a table title. Something similar to the below image. Is there an option in SSRS to do this? any help is greatly appreciated.
wanted output
You can do this with a row group based on NoticeNumber. Simply add two headers and group detail.
Add a table.
Add a row group with the group field being Notice No. Make sure you select the option to add group header.
Right click the row header added in 2a and select6 "Add Row|Inside Group Below".
Add the number of columns you want for each record.
Select all the in the top group header row, right click, and select merge.
Add your Notice number to the merge cells.
Select the merged cell and set its text alignment to left aligned.
Paint all you cells in the row produced in 3 above gray.

Mixing detail rows in the middle of grouped rows

I have a report that need to show rows grouped by some criteria, let's say SubjectId.
But, final report preview need to looks like table below:
Little explanation:
Rows 11 and 12 belongs to group 1, and I need to put those 'Details rows' in the middle of table and after those two columns, I need to continue with group data, and that method would be valid for any group in table.
Everything would be easy if those two details columns are last two columns, but I have problem to get preview from picture if those columns are in the middle.
I'm not sure you can do this.
You could get something similar by just adding your Gender column at the end and then setting the HideDuplicates property of the textbox top True but that will not allow centering etc.
This was the output I got after applying the above.
I've used Category twice just as an illustration (that it belongs inside the row group)

Add "COUNT" column in SSRS in place of details rows

Apologies for this very newb-like question. I have some detail data that I want to group... I have added three group by columns (LOB, Event Classification, Assigned) to my table and want to add a third (Count) that counts the number of rows in the third (Assigned) group. At the moment I do this simply by adding a CountRows() column within the last (inner most) group. This is all I want to show. But I am forced to add a details column that I do not need (in this case I have "Amount"). Please see figure below:
Basically, I like what I have, except that I don't need that last "Amount" column. If I hide it, the row heights stay the same (i.e., their height is determined by the number of rows in the hidden column). I'm guessing I'm missing something pretty fundamental here. Any ideas?
From http://consulting.risualblogs.com/blog/2013/06/28/tablix-body-must-contain-at-least-one-column-ssrs/ I found:
Right click the last column, ‘Column Visibility’, ‘Hide’
2: On the ‘Row Groups’ or ‘Column Groups’, right click the ‘Details’ grouping and press delete, but only delete the grouping, not the associated rows and just delete the data in the last column.
It sounds like you need to place your values in the header of the last group defined which in your case is "Assigned". And remove the detail column. This should allow you to aggregate your values outward. The Count column would be a second group header for the Assigned group.
