    HI, Anonymous 

    After my research, it seems that you need to enable File->Options and settings->Options ->Report settings->Visual options "Use the modern visual header with updated styling options" as below:

     

    Then it should work well.

     

    Best Regards,

Good thoughts, but still doesn't work.

 

Yes, both visuals include data.  I've tried clicking everywhere (hand pointer, arrow pointer) - no joy.  Once the two visuals are selected, I can click and drag them together, but there is no right-click menu.

    Thank-you Lin.

     

    That's the trick.  Hopefully others experiencing this issue will find this post quickly and hopefully it gets fixed for the next release.

        If you open the selection panel can you select both visuals the right click on one of them and pick group?

    Hi All

     

    Unfortunately the solutions on this page do not work for me!

    I have the visual tick box already enabled and the selections panel does not provide a right click menu either

     

    I am on version : 2.69.5467.5201 64-bit (May 2019)

    is this a version issue or is grouping incredibly well hidden in the May2019 build?!?

     

    any help at all would be great

     

    Many thanks

      Hi DavisJamesUK ,

      I got the version update and it worked for me perfectly. So try to update it at your end. Infact I was testing it in version June, 2019 and it didn't worked and than I updated to Sept, 2019 and it worked.
