What does your data look like? At first glance, this looks like something that could be achieved by having multiple detail rows or using a grid within your single detail row to arrange your fields where you'd like. Let me know.

I've done something similar using crosstabs with embedded tables, but Michaels suggestion is a lot easier

I tried using a grid, but if i have mulitple rows , its not showing it up. For ex in the earlier attachement if u can c, there are three horizontal tables controller,logical,system,drive and under each there are 5 sets of data. For controller there may be five or more records , for each the data should repeat, but thats not happening when i use a grid. 
 
Please help.

It would have to be a grid within your table's detail row. A grid itself will not iterate through your data. You'll need a table or list to do that. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding or if you need a simple example.

Simple Example is needed. It should include iteration.

What is your BIRT version so I can make an example in that version?

Here's a report that takes a row of data and uses a grid to place the row values in an order that you want.

Thank you , It worked, but the problem here is i have all the data in four different tables or csv's not as a single table/csv.

You can either use joint dataSets to merge your data or you can embed tables associated with these dataSets into an outer table that lists your groups and filter them to show only the data from the outer table's value.
