Hello,

My report contains two column list. Some data in column 2 duplicate with
that in the next row. How can I suppress the duplicate? i.e to display a
blank space for the duplicate data.

Rianna,

I just build a report off the sample db that list all the OrderDetails.
The first column is the order number which is repeated for every entry.
To suppress this I did the following:

On the Table or List, click the script tab and select the onPrepare method.
put in the following

ordernumberlast = "";

Then in the expression builder for the order number change the value to:

if( row["ORDERNUMBER"] == ordernumberlast ){
valtodisp ="";
}else{
ordernumberlast = row["ORDERNUMBER"];
}

This should work.
