Design question related to Grouping

Hello,

I am using SQL 2005 Reporting Services to create a user status report. Each page of the report will contain information about 1 user.

On a single page, there are 4 different views of the data (pulling from different tables). Ideally, I would like to group the data (by user for each page, then by category for each of the 4 views on the page). I grouped by user, and the separate pages came out fine. But attempting to group by category, I found that the grouping applies to all the data...and I only want to group a subset of the data.

Is this possible? Will I need to nest select statements to make it happen? Is there a better way to approach this?

Go easy on me...I'm new to this.

Thanks,
David

i think what your looking for is an outer join.
select * from table1 1
left outer join table2 2 on 1.column = 2.column
