I created a classic report. Under report attributes I defined Break Formatting as "First, Second and Third Column".

The data columns for this report are Domain, Discipline, TechnologyArea and Products.
Domain is the parent. Discipline is a child of domain. TechnologyArea is the child of Discipline. Products are children of TechnologyAreas.

Domain prints in the first column, Discipline in the second, TechnologyArea in the third and Product in the fourth. There are one to many products for any TechnologyArea - and one to many TechnologyAreas for any Discipline - and one to many Disciplines for any Domain. The report is sorted on Domain, Discipline, TechnolgyArea and Product. Therefore domain prints over and over and over. Discipline prints over and over until it changes. TechnologyArea prints several times before it changes. I don't like that.

I want the report to print Domain and not print it again until it changes. I want it to do the save for Discipline and TechnologyArea.

I set break formatting to "First, Second and Thrid Column". Now Domain prints once and does not print again until it changes. So far so good! Now Discipline prints once and does not print on subsequent rows until the discipline changes. So far so good! The TechnologyArea name prints on every row. That's not good.

Given this pattern, if there were an option for First, Second, Third and Fourth columns I think that would give me the report I want - but there's not. Can anyone tell me how to stop TechnologyArea from repeating on every row?
