Break Formatting w/out Break Sums

Question

I would like to create a report with break formatting on the first column and a grand total of the second column at the end of the report, but no totals per break on the first column. For example, what I would like is something like this,
Employee      | Task | Hours
Smith, John     1A     20
                1B     20
Jones, Karen    1A     35
                1B      5
Grand Total:           80but what I get when I select break formatting and mark a column to be summed is something like this,
Employee      | Task | Hours
Smith, John     1A     20
                1B     20
Employee Total:        40
Jones, Karen    1A     35
                1B      5
Employee Total:        40
Grand Total:           80I don't want those lines marked Employee Total, but I can't figure out how to get rid of them while keeping the Grand Total. Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,
I haven't found a way to do what you want using the column break functionality.
However, you could change your sql statement to hide the repeating values. Have a look at the second post in the following thread:

the output seems to match what you're trying to achieve.
