Hi, I'm working with SQL Server Reporting Services, and have requested to make a report that looks something like the image on the link below (just remove "qwerty" after http):

However, this layout is complicated since in SSRS, the parent groupings will always be placed on the left side of the table. That's why on my implementation, I concatenated 3 different tables having the same dataset and parent group - (Table 1 is column B to C... Table 2 is column D to E... and Table 3 is column F to G). The "Header 1" is just a textbox that spans through the 3 tables.
Another table is created for column H to K that have the same dataset and parent group with the 3 previous tables. Another table is created for column L to P with the same dataset and parent group of the rest of the tables, and I just placed it beside the table 4 (column H to K). I also make sure that when placing each table beside to each to each other, their distance is 0pts (zero points. See screenshot on the link below (just remove"qwerty" after http):

When I run it in VS2008 R2, the report looks fine. I just repeat the process, however, after placing the 5th "Category - Question" table, when I run the report, there is a hidden/merged cell between 4th "Category - Question" table and 5th "Category - Question" table. See screenshot on the link below (just remove "qwerty" after http):

As you can see, column G is being hidden. And if you going to expand it, it seems that column G and H is being merged. See screenshot on the link below (just remove "qwerty" after http):

Can somebody explain why it behaves differently? The first 3 "Category - Question" table is working just fine. Also, what should I do so that it will not be automatically merged and hidden?
