Normally this type of problem is addressed using a crosstab report item.
If that is not feasible you could add a computed column to the dataset
that represents row number and then put the same table in all three
columns and filter based on the row number. So for example if I create
a computed column called rwc I can add a filter to the first table with
this expression:
(row["rwc"]-1)%3 equal to 0
it will show
1
4
7
The second table will have
(row["rwc"]-2)%3 equal to 0
and so on. Look at the attached example.
