How to setup the grouping to be displayed as flat and not hierarchical

Description:
Is it possible to setup the grouping to be displayed as flat and not hierarchical.
For example, I group by Name and Type and now each group looks like:
+Name1
    + Type1
            Row1
            Row2
    + Type2
            Row3
            Row4
+Name2
    + Type1
            Row5
            Row6

and I would like it to be:

  • Name1, Type1
            Row1
            Row2
  • Name1, Type2
            Row3
            Row4
  • Name2, Type1
            Row5
            Row6

    Answer:
    You should create a calculated column which combines values of your Name and Type columns and which is used for grouping.
