Continent Country City
Europe Germany Berlin
Europe Germany Munich
Europe England Heathrow
Europe England London
Asia China Beijing
Asia China Shanghai
Asia Malaysia Kuala Lumpur
Asia Malaysia Johor
Asia Thailand Bangkok

how do i make it look like this

Europe Germany Berlin
Munich
England Heathrow
London
Asia China Beijing
Shanghai
Malaysia Kuala Lumpur
Johor
Thailand Bangkok

cheers,
titan

Why not just put 2 nested groups on the table, by Continent, then Country
and
put the Continent and Country in the group header and leave city in the
detail?

In your first level detail - right click - add group (add group for
Continent) then when this group has been added - right click the detail
row - add group for Country - and continue as needed
