Repeating Parent Task in Marketing Round Report

Hello!  I managed to create a report to count the number of R1-R7 parent tasks in a report. However, when I look at it more closely, the parent tasks are repeating! I created a filter where parent tasks contain R1 OR R2 OR R3, etc., and I also grouped them by the parent task name.  Is there a way to remove the repeats, because when I check the projects, they only appear once!

Grouping: 

group.0.linkedname=parentgroup.0.namekey=view.relatedcolumngroup.0.namekeyargkey.0=parentgroup.0.namekeyargkey.1=namegroup.0.orientation=Hgroup.0.valueexpression=IF(CONTAINS("R1",{parent}.{name}),"R1",IF(Contains("R2",{parent}.{name}),"R2",IF(CONTAINS("R3",{parent}.{name}),"R3",IF(CONTAINS("R4",{parent}.{name}),"R4",IF(CONTAINS("R5",{parent}.{name}),"R5",IF(CONTAINS("R6",{parent}.{name}),"R6",IF(CONTAINS("R7",{parent}.{name}),"R7")))))))group.0.valuefield=parent:namegroup.0.valueformat=stringtextmode=true

 What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to fix this?

If this is a task report, it’s not really possible to have repeating tasks -- assuming that you mean the R1-Marketing Review lines that are showing up in your screenshot and not something else.

 

If you could add one more column to the report that contains the task ID information, this will help you confirm that the report does include the same task repeating several times (the IDs should also be identical). If this behavior continues after you delete your browser cache and cookies -- or if you’re able to duplicate the behavior in a new report, you should probably open a case with the Workfront Support team.
