A condition to avoid displaying a product with the same Product Name in a report

Question

hello,
 Is there a condition to avoid displaying contents of two similar product names in a subreport?
 here is the scenario:
Need to display Parent information in a separate List - Good
child Product information in Sub-report,
I'm passing both ProductID and ParentName parameters into Sub-Report to display the contents of the sub-report. If there are no similar Parent name, the sub-report works fine. But if there are similar ParentName, my sub-report
starts listing all Products from the parent name.
  example
    Parent Product 1 ->  
                    Sulphate
                    Product_ID -> xx345
                    child Product1 ->  SulPhur (details...)  in a SubReport
  Parent Product 2 ->
                   Sulphate
                      Product_ID -> xx3342
                      Child Product1 -> Sulphuric Acid (details...) in  a SubReport

Hi xitum,
Per my understanding that both the subreport and the main report contains the field "ProductID" and "ProductName", and some of the ProductID will map the same ProductName which will display some duplicate subreport in the list like below,
right?
I have used some sample data as below and you can see when the different ProductID have the same values of "ProductName" and "Amount" and some other field value, it will display all the duplicate information
in the subreport when add the main report in a list:
ProductID   ProductName  Amount:
    1               ZXITest         220
    2               ZXITest         220
    3               ZXITest2       100
    4               ZXITest3       200
If this is the case, please reference to the similar case in below thread which include details steps about how to do the deduplicate:

If I have some misunderstanding, please try to provide some snapshot of the unexpect result you have got and more details information about the expect result you want.
