  <p>As shown above, this trapped me for a long time. </p>
  
  <p>This is a matrix in SSRS 2008 (under Visual Studio 2008 Professional SP1). 
  I need to generate a simple report, which contains Client Name and the staff's name, hours in the period. 
  The report in the left hand side of the red line is the row group with 2 groups in parent/child. 
  In the right hand side of the group is the column group, grouped by period (date), which will display the hours from the database. </p>
  
  <p>However, the restriction of the column group does not allow the Client Name (Row Group Header) to utilize the empty/blank space over the red line. 
  Thus, if the Client Name is too long, it will goes to the second line. </p>
  
  <p>I would like to know if there is anyway that I can utilize/extend the row to utilize the space under the column group, like the image shown below, </p>
