Drill Down only the Middle Row in the Row Group

Question

Friends,
I am having difficulties in implementing drill down for one row group.  This is my requirement.
The Dataset would be returning say the following columns - Eg, Account #, Admit Date, Discharge Date, Pend Reason, Pend Date, Total Amount, Comments. An Account can be pended multiple times.
We can Pend an Account multiple times. Hence if multiple records exist only the Pend Reason & Pend Date fields would be different for each row for a account. So Account, Pend Reason, Pend Date form a UNIQUE key.
I am trying to create a drill down report. I want to drill down the Pend Reason & Pend Date fields. This is possible. However, the requirement is to display the Pend Reason & Pend Date fields in the middle of the result set i.e. Total Amount, Comments
field would be coming after these fields in the report. So whenever i try to expand/collapse the subsequent fields Total Amount & Comments too get expanded/collapsed.
I am able to achieve this if i keep Pend Reason & Pend Date fields at the end of the result set. But that is not the requirement.
There is another option of creating sub report for these fields and displaying the history. However i feel that this would be very time consuming since the sub report would be called for every row in the result set.
Are there any other ways to achieve this? Is it possible to drill down these 2 fields by toggling these same 2 fields?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Murali,
Thank you for your post.
Since I am not very clearly about your requirement, could you please post the dataset with sample data, and the screenshot about your report design? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Alisa,
Thanks for responding. I am attaching the report layout. In this Facility, User, CaseType have been grouped and rest of the fields are in Details section.
For an account with multiple entries in the dataset only the Pend Reason would be different. All the other fields would be the same. When I try to add all the fields before Pend Reason field as Parent, it is grouping till Pend Reaosn and showing even Pend
Date, Pend Days fields in individual rows.
Our requirement is to have only one row per account in the report and display multiple rows for pend reasons in its own box. for eg if there are 3 rows for account 111
Col1, Col2, Col3
111, A, 20
111,B,20
111,C,20
My requirement is to display like below.
111
A
20
B
C
i know the we can implement this by using a subreport for COl2. but it would be time consuming as it would be called for all the rows. Is there any other better options.
