Beginner: How to group data?

Hello,
Thanks for reviewing my question. I am new to reporting services and
experimented with a couple of reports. I have the following data in a table:
# name slot
1 A1 1
1 B1 2
1 C1 3
2 A2 1
2 B2 2
2 C2 3
I would like to output in this fashison:
1 2
-- --
1 A1 A2
2 B1 B2
3 C1 C2
Should I be looking to use a Matrix objecjt? Do I need to use JOINs to
group rows/columns even though all my data I need is in my table?
Many Thanks
PeterA follow up:
I am not familar with how the reporting mechanism groups the data. I have a
long list of data already contained in a table.
Current list
1 Book A Action
1 Book B Drama
2 Book C Novel
2 Book D Action
Desired output
1 2
Action Book A Book D
Drama Book B
Novel Book C
Can I output the data in the desired output or do I have to do queries with
cross joins or something of that sort?
Many Thanks
Peter
