Reporting Services: Tablix RepeatColumnHeaders doesn't work on some reports

Question

So I\'ve got various reports that consist of a DataSet rendered in a Tablix... pretty garden variety stuff. There is a property for the Tablix control named RepeatColumnHead

Your post is still being used ;) Thank you all. I built upon what you provided to come up with a solution to restore repeating header rows. I did not have to use the Advanced mode, just some insight... I had two title rows outside all row groups with no column groups. Here is what I did to get the two title rows into the tablix header:

1. Right click on one title row and "Add Group (Column Group)", Parent Group
2. Group by '1' (this group will later be deleted so it doesn't matter what you put there
3. Click OK and the a Header row is added.
4. Merge all columns in the new header row
5. In the column group pane, right click on group just created and "Delete Group", select box for "group only" important
6. Now you have header row you can insert row above or below to add more header lines.
7. Move your title rows into the new header rows and delete your old title rows.
8. Last... make sure you check the Tablix property to "Repeat Column Headers on each page"

It worked well and easily repeatable (I had many tablixes).
