Can we use repeater and output in CSV?

I am working on a report where vendor wants the report in CSV format. My requirement is to combine rows of data to a single column with comma separated values. I kind of achieved that using repeater, but when I run the report in CSV I am not getting the expected results.


Current Result with repeater and group by employee number
**************************************************
Employee Number,Last Name,First Name,Test Group
13000,gaga,lady,"Manager,"
1XXX0,swift,taylor," HR ADMIN,"
166XX,stefani,gwen,"Manager,"
166XX,stefani,gwen,"HR ADMIN, "
20500,gomez,selena, "Manager,"
20500,gomez,selena," HR ADMIN,"
2xx00,lopez,jennifer,"Peer,"
2XXX3,clarkson,kelly,"Peer,"
2XXX8,knowles,Beyonce," HR ADMIN,"
24XX,Bedengfeild,Natasha,"Peer,"
24XXX,kardashian,Kim,"Peer,"
2XXX0,Patten,Samantha,"Peer,"
2XXX2,Dion,Celion," HR ADMIN,"
2XXXX,Jenner,Kyle,"Peer,"

Expected Results:

Employee 20500 and 16XXX should be combined in to one
Employee Number .......Test Groups
20500..............  Manager, HRADMIN
16XXX................  Manager, HRADMIN

No.  Output to CSV causes the output of the first query that Cognos chooses to be output.  It has nothing to do with what is shown on your report page.

Is this oracle datasource, possibly you could use oracle function listagg to get the data on a single row.
