First of all, the records are shown in the table by table component but not in the report one.
The results looks like this:

The sumquarter column shows the sum of each quarter in year.
They are not printed when it repeated the value of the field.
The question is how to group the column of sumquarter, so that the first printed repeated value in each row to join the next repeated value to become a single cell until it meets the non-repeated value?
You can simply see it in an image. Below is the image that the table shows and the solution that I preferred is to group those 3 months of sum into a single cell.
Here is the image:
On the Data tab, in the Outline group, click Group. Then in the Group dialog box, click Rows, and then click OK. Tip: If you select entire rows instead of just the cells, Excel automatically groups by row - the Group dialog box doesn't even open. The outline symbols appear beside the group on the screen.
Select the range in your worksheet or use the Expand selection or Select range icons on the right. In this dropdown, choose the merging option: Columns into one, Rows into one, Cells into one. Combine with offers a set of standard delimiters to use between the merged values: semicolon, comma, period, space, line break.
Combining of two or more cells into a single cell is called Merge.
You can use this sample:

The result will be (in pdf format):
In this sample I've used two elements in the Detail
band for the Year
column:
one textField
with only vertical borders and with printWhenExpression: "$V{yearGroup_COUNT} == 1"
property (I'm show it only once for the whole yearGroup) and one staticText
without any text and with only vertical borders.
I've used three elements in the Detail
band for the Quarter Sum
column:
one textField
with only vertical borders and with printWhenExpression: "$V{quaterGroup_COUNT} == 1"
property (I'm show it only once for the whole quaterGroup), one staticText
without any text and with only vertical borders and the line
element for drawing horizontal border with printWhenExpression: "$V{quaterGroup_COUNT} == 1"
property.
