i suppose no answer means that there is no possibility to do this?

This is possible, but I do not know that you can do it easily; certainly not out-of-the-box. The issue is that a table is built in an iterative fashion where the total number of rows is not known until run-time. Generally this flexibility is desired. In your case you want to fix the application of the rows on the page at design time.

I would do this. Create your 2 x 3 grid. Inside each cell in the grid, ad a single list control, bound to the source data set. For each list, add a filter condition that will isolate the row you are looking for. By using run-time filters to isolate a specific row, you can get the data specificity you need to get the row-list relationship where you need it. The one assumption with this strategy is that you are able to use a predictable filter to isolate each of the 9 rows.

Give it a try, bring any questions that come up back to this thread. I will keep an eye out and see if I can help any further.

Good Luck!
