Display values of ONE field in multiple columns

Birt_Ben_S

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to display values from 1 field evenly in 3 columns? e.g., suppose I have a field "name" for Table "Student", and it has 100 records/rows. I want to display these 100 names in 3 columns, 33 rows each. One of them has 34 rows like the following.

Please help. Thanks, Ben
