Ideally you should create a view that truncates both tables (assuming you are using an SQL based data source), it will need to be something like:

CREATE VIEW MYVIEWNAME

AS 

SELECT 'Project' AS [TypeName],
       Somefield,
       SomeOtherField

FROM MyProjectTable

UNION ALL

SELECT 'Expense' AS [TypeName],
       Somefield,
       SomeOtherField

FROM MyExpenseTable

Then once you add this as a source in Crystal you can group by TypeName first then group by the project/Expense.

If you want different details displayed, create a new details section and add the suppression formula {Mytable.TypeName}="Project" to the Expense section and vise versa for the Project section.
