Not able to generate multiple lines for headers in report

Question

Hi,
I am new to BI publisher and not able to generate multiple lines for headers. Please help me to resolve.
I am using RTF template, data source as PS Query and XML file (system generated from the data source)
When I am using system generated 'First XML' file, I am getting output in the follwoing format.
TEAM_MEMBER, PROJECT_ID, NAME, START_DT
e.g.
EMP1 , 71000, Sample, 01-Jan-2010
EMP1 , 72000, Sample, 01-Feb-2010
EMP1 , 73000, Sample, 01-March-2010
But I want the report to be generate with multiple projects for one employee like below format , for that I used 'Second XML' file but I am getting blank report.
In short if there is one to many case, how to show in reports??? Please correct if I am going wrong.
TEAM_MEMBER
PROJECT_ID, NAME, START_DT
PROJECT_ID, NAME, START_DT
PROJECT_ID, NAME, START_DT
e.g.
EMP1
71000, Sample, 01-Jan-2010
72000, Sample, 01-Feb-2010
73000, Sample, 01-March-2010

Hi,
With your first xml you can print like
EMP1
71000, Sample, 01-Jan-2010
72000, Sample, 01-Feb-2010
73000, Sample, 01-March-2010While creating the RTF template you can use the Group by option.
<?for-each-group:ROW;./columnname> then print the column name
<?columnname?>
--Then your table format
71000, Sample, 01-Jan-2010
72000, Sample, 01-Feb-2010
73000, Sample, 01-March-2010
<?end for-each-group?>
Thanks.
