Dynamic merging of cells in SSRS

Question

In an SSRS Report ,I have a table which has 14 columns, 1st column is 7am and the last column is 7pm. I have 100 records with conference names and the timings,

ex: 1) interenational conference 9am to 5pm 2) national conference 8 am to 11 am

so the problem is these column cells must merge based on the timings and siplay as one textbox with center aligning the text

ex: national conference the columns from 8 to 11 am are to be merged and the time 8 to 11am must display in these merged cells with center align.

Can anyone give me any suggestion for this issue, i thought to write custom code for this but i did not get any idea.

So, If anyone cna help me i will be very greatful.

(Can we merge the cells dynamically based on the condition in SSRS)

Answer 1

I would duplicate this row so there will be one row with merged cells, second with separate. Then Hidden propperty of 1st row should be set to

 = (Fields!ConferenceName = "interenational")

And for the 2nd row

 = (Fields!ConferenceName = "national")
