I hope that works for you.  Let me know if you have further questions.

This would be done in the InitializeGroupByRow event of the grid.

Sangeetha,

You could do something like this:

String companyName = e.Row.Description.Substring(0, 15);            

if (companyName == "Asset/Liability")            

 {                

   if (e.Row.ChildBands.Count > 0)                

    {                    

       e.Row.Description += "  " + e.Row.ChildBands[0].Rows[0].Cells["Instrument Type"].Text;                

    }            

 }

Of course, that will only get the value from the first child row but you said that the values would all be the same so I think that is what you want.  Let me know if that can work for you.
