Combining Table and Matrix format in one Report in RS2005

Hello,

I am using RS 2005 trying to create the following report. My report consists of the following columns: Question, Sub Question, N as Number of Responses, All as Average for all responses per given question and sub question, and Ethnicity column which is presented here in a Matrix format with ethnic group as columns and average response as Data values. It looks like my challenge is to combine Matrix format report (Ethnicity column) with a data such as N and All columns which are more like a table format. Any input how I could tackle this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

columns not appearing.

I have generated a .dsv using named queries.

The dsv consists of 3 tables:

1)CLIENT

2)client_guarantor.

3)client_contacts.

The client_guarantor and client_contacts tables both have a foreign key into the CLIENT table via the column CLIENT.client_id. To give you a visual, the .dsv design view would look something like this:

client_guarantor <- CLIENT -> client_contacts.

I use this .dsv to generate a model and deploy it. My problem arises once I get into report builder. It will not let me build a report that uses columns from all three tables. For instance, if i pull a column from the CLIENT table, then a column from the client_contacts table, and next try to get anything from the client_guarantor table, report builder lets me navigate back to the client_guarantor table (because i have added a column from CLIENT) but wont let me add any columns from client_guarantor to the report.

Am i missing something? I assume that since the CLIENT table can see both the client_guarantor and client_contacts tables, if I add anything from the CLIENT table into my report, I should have access to both other tables located in my model. Am I wrong in this assumption, or do I need to add some flag to my model or something? Any help or insight is appreciated.

I searched through the forum, and for anyone interested, the answer is here:
