I have two sections on a report a member side and a beneficiary side. The members side only needs to show one member for whatever amount of beneficiaries is allocated to this one member. The report used to work as example 1 below. I then used the previous function in report server so that it works like example2. This worked fine but now it left me with an open cell where the second "James" used to be. So they wanted me to merge the cells so that "James" display in one cell and merge with the other "James" cell.
I could not find a merge function for this so i simply made the top and bottom borders "None" as order by a IIF statement. This worked fine until i tried to export it to pdf then it just showed me the cells for the second "James", when i export it to excel the merging was fine it worked but i require it to work for pdf. Any ideas pls?
Or even an actual way to merge cell after execution, using an IIF statement.

Example 1:

Member Beneficiary
---------------------------------
James Leon
James William


Example 2:

Member Beneficiary
---------------------------------
James Leon
William
